If you speak to anyone in pretty much any industry they all say "it's not what it used to be!", this is certainly true of the medical and teaching profession, building trade, the police, fire service etc etc. Times have changed and you can either chose to roll with it and open doors or moan and not create any opportunitys for yourself in the coming years.
By the time all you golden boys have finished your time in Ryanair there will be no other better T&C to move to, because all has to compete in the race to the bottom. The day we see Ryanair can no longer get cadets, we will se better T&C ahead. Until then, stick your head in the sand, or stand up for yourself.
And regarding other industries, what an utter bull****, tell a new graduated plumber to work for free 12 month.. He'll laugh at you rest of the day ..the reality is, he'll make more than you until you upgrade ;-)
To all of you about Ryanair is topnotch, yes, I'm sure it is not bad for captains, but where are we if we accept cadets are still treated this way, or is it a new safety regulation maybe that FOs sleep best in their cars!?
