Ryanair contract pilots and family tickets

[mateusz]

Hi,
If you are a pilot contracted via Storm MCGinley and fly for Ryaniar, does your family/spouse get any rebate tickets?

No, only Ryanair employees get six per year for family / friends and unlimited personal standby tickets

How does it work if there already are other jumpseaters? Since there is no seniority, who get's to go and who stays?

IIRC, the jumpseaters (non-ticketed) are out. Lowest on the list, even if they're going to work.

I remember being in MAD and having 13 jumpseats to go back to STN and only about 7 seats. Captain had to make a decision, ended up being people who were commuting TO work got priority (sensible), those returning ended up on the LGW which left 2 hours later.

Commute to work is first, then prioritized by date of joining the company.
