Hi Craic!
I used to work for Ryanair. Don't get me wrong the money was very good but u had to work for it. Some days meant doing four flights exp. double stockholm skavsta! generally five days on two days off.
The crew are the best really friendly and the social life is great. No nightstops though unless you went tech! You were normally always called off standby too. Quick 25 min turnaround and not much chance to break! Pay for your uniform too but then again it is a low fares airline, so don't expect much luxuries like crew food onboard.
Apart from that the crew are fun but you do work very hard!!

Thanks for that IanJ. I am living and attempting to get a FA position within Australia or Middle East, but if I don't I am planning on heading back to the Uk for work. Only been living in Australia 5 years but would love to spend some time back home again. RyanAir is an option I will consider. Already had interviews lined up for Easy Jet and Virgin Atlantic, but had to turn both down as I couldnt get back to the UK for them.
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Keneco - These day's FR's the only airline in the world with any decent growth, thats why the're hiring. There are a lot of out of work "11 year olds" out there from failed airlines to chose from.

I have just flown with Ryanair and I thought the crew were just cute!! Professional no chance!! Basically Ryanair are always recruiting becuase people are always leaving. My friend started a training course with about 24 people, by the Thursday of that very week 6 had dropped out. How bad is that. I have just recently flown with Ryanair and I noticed how one of the crew a girl who looked about 16 was just pushing the trolley, yawning and looking at her watch and this is the truth. I wouldn't behave like that in front of any customers.. Ryanair interviews last about 5-10 minutes. They recruit anyone apparently but I would rather go through harder interviews and work for a good company but I would fly with them, I paid something like £60 return to Alghero.excellent!!!

Yeah she probably was checking her watch because of that. I do admire ryanair cabin crew, you work hard and if you can keep smiling after doing all those sectors, well what can I say.. well done!!
