How much leave do you manage to get at times that are of any use to a family at Ryanair?
Eg, could I expect to get a period of leave over Christmas or New Year, a week at Feb 1/2 term, a week at Easter, 2 weeks in the July/August summer holidays and a week at October 1/2 term? Most years I can manage to get the vast majority of those, and maybe May 1/2 term too.
I haven't worked for Ryanair, and I suspect those here defending them haven't worked for Jet2. All I can base my opinions on are the feedback that many of those that have made the transition from FR to LS have detailed, and they are more than happy with their lot, I am also aware of some that moved from Jet2 to FR and are looking to return, despite the basing not really suiting them.
Lots of differing T's and C's, however I think the biggest thing that I have noticed people saying is the attitude that Jet2 have towards them, particularly when you are after a favour off Rostering, or trying to sort out a swap with Crewing.
