Future CC - Whilst I don't think the BA approach to Tc and Cs is the most efficient way to run a business - which will need to change if they want to emerge as a stronger business (but that's another topic), I would hate to see anything happen to them. They've got LHR and they're very suited to what they do there.
I'm not having a dig at you but you would soon get sick of of working for FR. I was close to being taken in by the CC "scheme" their agencies operate. Paying £2000 for your training, staying in a London (or Dublin) hotel for 6 weeks at your own expense, paying several hundred Pounds for your uniform. Then there is the £960 wages you will clear on a good month (if you choose not to pay for your course up front) and the fact that you could be posted anywhere in Europe at your own expense. And then there are numerous news articles on the cabin crew conditions - but I'll leave you to Google those. If you are set on becoming CC, then keep your options open, and maybe look at FR as an expensive way to get into the industry.
Don't be fooled, FR coming to town and trying to put everyone else out of business is bad news for the consumer and crew alike.

Cost maybe a factor for some but i like to know what i'm paying for.
I like to speak to cabin crew who have a command of the English language and know what their doing if things went wrong.
I like to look forward to my flight knowing that if the flight is affected in any way the company will do its utmost to get me to destination.
When MOL tells me if you pay low fares you get low low service- i believe him.

Bloody hell, Stormin, don't criticise someone's English and then write 'their'. (and 'went')

Nothing to worry about.............with FR reputation for poor service and customer care this will be storm at LBA! Once a few diversions have happened ........or you cant drop your bag off and the aircraft leave without you and FR say "tuff ****...rebook" (at inflated prices) the good folk of yorkshire will soon vote with their feet.
This will prove to be similar to the runaway success FR have had at BOH.
People are waking up to rip off Ryanair and their appauling attitude to customers.

Anyhow, it seems that a significant per cent of all FR crews have their roots in C-E Europe. While we could discuss if the command of English language should always and everywhere be better than German, French, Italian or Russian... there is one thing I've been wondering regardless of that.
Serving so many destinations east of Berlin FR do not have a single base in Poland (like KRK?), Czechia/Slovakia (like BTS?), Hungary. From Ryanair's point of view employing its crews on, say, Polish or Bulgarian contract could be even cheaper for them. It still didn't happen. Why?

It seems some people find the BYE BYE JET2 comment a little... upsetting. Well I'm sorry, but if Jet2 goes - It a shame that jobs are lost, but really - I geuss this might just be business.
Fair enough, BA probably won't go...
I shouldn't make a CC remark in the airline topic, but I am going to.
And thanks for the personal remarks, I don't lack ambition - I do want the work as CC, and FR (at the moment) is the only place to go. I geuss as it has been said, an expensive way into the industry.

I think futureCC has proved why this site has gone downhill in recent years, misguided 17 year old schoolboys spouting cr@p about sums it up!

ASFKAP, Troll lol
Nothing wrong with being a RYR CC member. Just hard work, and personally I prefer to be working with women from the east. Alot more attractive
I feel FutureCC, may have the bubble burst when your on airport standby moving stock around the base for free
Also you get to clean the sick, to expensive to get the cleaners out, just use your self respect

Bristol to Malaga is now showing in the booking engine.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a new route?
Mon, Thur, Fri, Sun.

Normal people have "an ambition" to become doctors, pilots, architects, and a whole range of other professions, people with a paucity of ambition (and in many cases academic qualifications), or a desperation to escape some East European economic blackspot simply end up as RYR cabin crew.....

I am outraged by the remarks of several people on this forum. Not one of you knows me in any way, you don't know what my "ambitions" are in life or anything about what I want to do in the future.
I wonder what any member of a cabin crew would think to that remark to just serve coffee. I know there are arrogant people out there - but that is the epitome.
I will not be returning on this forum, outrageous remarks and such a high level of arrogance shown. Quite clearly shows what the general rule is here...
If all you have to do in the day is take the p*** out of other people, then you all need to get out more and most certainly get a life.
Thank you for all your advice.
Goodbye.

NEGOTIATIONS on up to four Ryanair bases in Poland were yesterday suspended after the low-cost carrier baulked at increases in local air traffic control (ATC) costs.
Poland has been one of Ryanair's biggest expansion stories, with passenger numbers rocketing from 1.2 million in 2006 to 2.3 million last year.
Chief executive Michael O'Leary recently said he was targeting 10 million annual Polish passengers, and rumours on a possible Ryanair base have been rife since November, when Mr O'Leary told local reporters he hoped to open a Polish base "next year". Those rumours intensified in mid-June, when local reports quoted Ryanair's central European director Tomasz Kulakowski, as saying the airline wanted to have "three or four" bases in Poland within about four years.
Yesterday, however, Ryanair announced the immediate cessation of all Polish bases talks in protest at a new ATC charging regime that has just been introduced. In a statement, the airline said Poland's ATC organisation PANSA has increased fees for landing and takeoffs at Polish airports by 960pc, while lowering fees for overflying Polish airspace.
