As a really, really green wannabe I remember talking to my brother about Ryanair and how good they were. All positive of course.
I speak now from the position of being merely a green wannabe (learning a wee bit all the time about the overall pilot situation) and it feels quite bad to see this 'dream idea' evapourate the more I hear, amongst other things, about Ryanair's recruitment and management practices.
Nonetheless we are all in it for the thing we started out for, a love of flying. Now I am lost for words because like the majority of people here - just do not know what the future holds.
It sure is a revelation, and like www often posts, interesting times.
Good luck to everyone battling through this tough career option.
Laurie.
