tell you what else is crazy... a while ago, think it was the end of April, when it was freezing cold and on early shifts the big grin on your face wasn't actually a smile, it was just your face frozen like that, we received a memo saying that we are NOT allowed to wear scarfes, they are only allowed between 1st October and 31st March (i swear to God they actually gave us the dates!). If we broke the rule, we would be given a grooming discrepancy...
ema base is one of the best ones, people are nice, routes are ok and the pax well... they are low fares cost pax... i am planning to go with another airline at some point, after i become a PU. But it just makes me think what's it like to work in management, go to your office in the morning and ask yourself "hmmm....how will i mess about with the cabin crew today?... Oh, i know, i'll send a memo asking them to buy their own tea towels, and rub the ovens like a professional cleaner!" seriously..... life as an Ryanair flight attendant is not bad for me, i think with this job you either hate it or love it... But it's just that some people with big job titles (everyone is either head of something or manager or whatever else ) makes you ask yourself : "why on earth am i allowing these people to take me to the lowest point and use me like i am a robot, when i am only human???"
But, as i said, it's funny in so many ways.. I'll come back with more news as soon as i get them.. at least i'll put a smile on your faces.

STN base
I never worked from STN but i have friends who were desperate to get out of there. The sky is not so blue there... You have to allow roughly 30mins before the report time just to get from the terminal building to the crew room. You will make some friends but no one knows anyone, you'll fly with complete strangers every day and by the time you get to fly with them again, you'll forget you ever met them. My friends found STN very unfriendly and they work you out to death, and you'll start hating the job just because no one gives a f
k bout anyone, every man for itself..
But then again, that's what i've been told. Maybe things will be different for you.
Best of luck

ryanair open day...
I would say... DON'T GO! But then again is such an easy opportunity to get in the aviation industry.
Just be yourself... As long as you can speak English, you're hired!! You'll be interviewed by a St. Management representative and a probably Ryanair No. 1... The interview lasts for about 5mins... You'll be ok, don't worry.
Let us know how it went.

How on earth can they decide if a person is suitable to be cabin crew in 5 minutes? 
Is it true Ryanair crew get no crew food or even water and no nightstops at all?
If you are so desparate to get to be crew, why not try easyJet? It's a decent airline who although work you hard to pay you well and you even get, gasp, crew drinks and food and a few nightstops.
I just do not understand people who are so eager to be crew they will apply for dreadful airlines like Ryanair.

Impatience is one reason. Both my kids (20/18) want to be cabin crew and I could support them financially through Ryanair training requirements and initial employment periods. Instead I have asked them to get another couple of years customer service experience and progress to at least supervisiory level. After that they can apply to other airlines. This is not to denigrate Ryanair, I have flown with them many times and the cabin crew on the whole have been excellent under what must be quite a good deal of pressure. However after reading this forum and others I would prefer to see them with a legacy carrier or an airline that does not rely on cabin crew to 'self finance' any major part of their initial costs.
Credit where credit is due though. Ryanair is a major success story and no small part of that is due to the cabin crew.
