I hear they are getting really desperate for pilots. Not surprising when you hear how staff are treated there.
The race to the bottom has hit bottom in Ryanair, I'm not really sure how the pay and conditions could get much worse considering the workload and responsibility of the job. I can safely say without exaggeration that if my situation ever forced my to look for a job in Ryanair, then I think it would be time to leave the aviation industry.
Unless the Ryanair pilots form a union then nothing will change. Easier said than done I know. Hopefully we will see more of their shiney new 737's parked up with no one to fly them, maybe then O'Leary and FR management will start to treat their crews with something more than contempt.
