I see that Ryanair have changed the recruiting advert to "the high pay airline" up to £100,000 per annum.
So "high pay" could on the basis of the PPRuNe evidence be from nothing to £100,000.

If it's true that RYR have been capped by the IAA to 99 aircraft, what effect will this have on deliveries of new 738's ? Who will RYR blame for that one ? Won't be themselves that's for sure......

If this 99 aircraft is true they will sell of the oldest 738s and tell the investment community that it is a great time to sell 738s straight after the warranty has run out (about 5 Ys)

Ryanair announced plans to sell the first few 738s some time ago. Jethros has the details on the FR fleet list.

And what happens after 18 months? If I move to the EU to take this on, I am going to want it permanently. Is there a point where we become RyanAir employees or are we permanently attached to Brookfield?

FR: 9 new Hahn routes, including Morocco
 

Ryanair have announced new flights to

Fez
Granada
Kaunsas
Krakow
Marrakesh
Murcia
Trieste
Verona (not Verona Bresica)
Wroclaw

Flights start late October with an extra 2 B737-800's to be based at Hahn

Sounds great. Hopefully we will see some Stansted - Morocco routes soon!

I was looking for some more information on the technical interview at ryanair... (un)fortunatly I run into this big discussions about Ryanair.

So now, I am in a big doubth...

Should I leave my company (SNBrussels Airlines) , making only 3500 euro's as a captain every month, for a nice salery at Ryanair (6000 euro's a month) flying a nice plane? Or is this a hugh mistake?

Were are the Ryanair pilots to help me to make up my mind?

What will happen with their Cao limiting them to only 99 aircrafts
What will happen with their rosters? 5:3 5/4
What will happen with their income?
Are you paid from they one?

thanks in advance for your help

You might have more look asking in the Terms and Endearment forum in the Pilot section :)

I'm booked to fly with ryanair on the 7th june from Liverpool to Riga, returning on the 13th. My gripe is this, when I booked the flight back on the 24th January the confirmation page stated the flight would leave at 7.05am on the outward sector, arriving Riga at 11.50am. The return flight was stated as departing at 12.15 arriving Liverpool 13.05. Now I decided to check the view booking page on the Ryanair website today to discover that the flight times have been changed to departing at 1735 on the 7th and returning at 23.35 on the 13th. I've had no emails/phone calls etc from ryanair to advise me of this change in flight times which is approximatley 10 hours later than the advertised time. The change in times I can just about live with (although these new times are much nastier than the originals) what has really annoyed me is that Ryanair have neglected to tell me of the change to my itinery as soon as they have known about it themselves - I was left to check for myself. Imagine my reaction if I were to make the 2 and half hour drive through the night to Liverpool to be told that my flight would not be departing for over 10 hours! Just a short email to me advising of the changes is all that it would have taken to avoid this possible situation. It makes me wonder how many people who have booked early on this flight are going to turn up at 5am for a flight that won't depart until 1735.

I didn't see if someone mentioned it already, RYR are or were negotiating plans to operate out of Maribor, Slovenia, I heard a couple of weeks ago.

Ryanair time changes
 

I must admit I had the opposite experience. I had booked Ryanair BHX - Girona - BHX and after their spat with BHX the flight was moved to East Midlands. Within days I had an e-mail from Ryanair re-booking me from East Midlalnds.

Living 3-4 miles from BHX I naturally told them where to go and requested
my money back. Ryanair promptly told me (very politely) to go away. This
involved me getting to East Midlands at 6am (Sunday) - Noooooooo way.

Solihull Trading Standards got me a full refund within a few weeks -
granted it had hit the local press by this time.

Ryanair also wrote to me and the content was first class and certainly
at the time buried the myth that there is no such thing as Customer
Service at Ryanair.

Although I got a good result, I have never flown with Ryanair since. However it is prevalent with the LCC's & both Myttravellite and Baby have changed my flight times. In all instances they have always let me know in good time. Baby in fact phoned me on my mobile and wrote to me. Mytravellite even changed my flight to the following afternoon which suited me and at no extra cost!

I know this does not help you but I think it is one of the things you have
to put up with when booking with LCC's. I always complain until I get my money back or a more suitable flight and more often or not it works.

A work colleague had the same problem with Wizz to Buda, moved his flight time 10 hours and he got a full refund after a long phone call - he booked
with Easy instead!

Well, Ryanair have never failed to tell me of a flight timing change. I suspect it is all automatic and whenever a schedule change is entered into the reservation computer an e mail is sent to everyone with a reservation on that flight that has provided an e mail addy. Of course you might have changed your e mail addy in the mean time but I'm sure that somewhere in the booking process it tells you to advise them of any change in e mail address for this very reason.

Just found out from a friend who booked the other half of the tickets in our party and he hasn't received any email advising him of the change either so it doesnt seem to be just me they've neglected to inform. Whats even more annoying is theres no way I can clarify the change without ringing their reservation centre, a reservations email contact would be useful.

Never had any problems with FR and being notified of any changes in schedule. Always had an e-mail to inform me. What has happened though, with all the filters I now have in place to stop SPAM, I am finding that various e-mails are being sent direct to the Junk Mail box and my last FR flight change was one. This is now rectified so be careful that the e-mails are not being filtered out as SPAM.

I'm sure they forgot to put you at the head of the queue...in front of the thousands of others that have to be notified about the schedule change which occur for most airlines, especially coming into the summer. As you're not flying until June, you may be a little down the list..

we certainly don't do it on purpose - customers are number one of course

I am booked or was booked to fly with Ryanair to Riga in June. I received notification yesterday of the timing change.

As the change was over two hours there was the option to cancel with a full refun which I took as I need to be in Riga early afternoon.

Seemed perfectly acceptable customer service to me.

but they get us all to believe the ticket cost is cheap then tell us we need to pay for insurance, baggage, £5 for a coffee etc. This isnt sustainable - sooner of later people will think we're being taken for a ride

shamrock7seal

true. but we're still miles cheaper than anyone else. our average fare is now £28 net. beat that!

the only people who are pi*sed off with us are the airlines we compete with and the airports we don't pay

customers love us 99% of the time. we get it right 99% of the time - which is more than any other airline in the world

safety, reliability and affordability - nothing else matters
