People, please, do not be blind and do not go for Ryanair, I wasted with this lovely company almost 3 years and hopefully will leave soon.
I wouldnt call this job Cabin crew job, its a modern slaving, I am based in Germany and still lucky a bit as the Germans are stingy :E and do not buy so much and You are not so busy as in for example in UK, Portugal or Scandinavia, we have time at least to eat!
There are other companies hiring, please try them. For Ryanair, you have to pay for your training almost 3.000 EUR and if they sack you before Your loan is finished, you still have to pay it all off. Btw one of the reasons to be fired is, if you are sick /with the doctor“s certificate!/ more than 3x per Year!!!!
Another reason for being fired - you do not sell enough and your average spend is low.
Do not even count with ryanar contract, you will stay with the company (workforce, crewling) for 3 years and than they will be happy..... to prolong their contract...
You do not get paid once you are sick. You are paid only for the flight hours (my record was working 21hours and got paid for 2!!)
Besides that, do you think, that a cabin crew job means:
1)during boarding stow ALL small belongings from the PAx under their seats
2) distribute menu cards to every single PAX after take off
3)distribute magazines
4)do "hot food preorders" (make annoncement and go through the cabin with smile and trying to sell as much as possible)
5)do "smokeless cigarettes"
6) start service within 5 minutes after being released from the jumpseats (which is impossible if it is your 1st flight and you have to count your bars)
7) do gash (ok this is a cabin crew job :-) )
8) sell lottery
9) sell telephone cards
10) do duty free service
if the flight is longer than 90 minutes:
11) second service (on the flights long approx. 3 hours you do usually 3x service)
12) second gash
.

.
13) collect magazines/menu cards
and imagine you do it 4x per day /in some bases fly 6 sectors/
Only one thing what I learned with Ryanair = I got sharp elbows, as I used to be more shy :O
And yes, they offer 16,20 EUR per flight hour, but in the end of the month, if you divide all hours you have spent at work, on average you get 8 EUR/hour (at least here in Germany, where I am based)
And if you still decide to go for this company, I just wish you good luck and pray for you, that you do not get Stansted base (where you get reported for the chipped nail..)
