(typed this in like 2 mins so sorry for spelling) just wanted to remind ppl about FR
i know when you wana become cabin crew you want to fly and all the glam glam , well this company is no glam glam job ,
i worked in dublin base but did a few days and overnights in other bases , such a CRL bad base , MRS another bad base , ( ryanair flys in old army airports apart from the odd few,madrid etc etc ) and your miles way from everything , so of you dont get based in the majors ones your life is just so boring
i worked for them for 10 months nd they are the worst.
Avg working week 70 hours
avg flights per week 23-30
Avg pay per month 1450+ commission
you work 6 days on early and then you have two days off and then 6 days lates and 3 dys off , (dublin + cork base only ) all other bases its five two five three .
let me just give you a typical day in the life of a ryanair cabin crew member
EARLYS shifts
so you wake up at 3.30 am and have to report for your briefing at about five (times vary) ( you will be asked safety question and meet your crew which you need to know or you will be offloaded)
you could be doing Dublin Manchester , Manchester Dublin, Dublin newcastle, newcastle dublin, dublin prestwick, prestwick dublin ,(aka on your roster as 6 sectors ) ( dub- man-dub-ncl-dub-pik-dub)
you are doing 6 drinks services, 6 boarding , 6 disinbarkments , 6 demos, a million gashs ( rubbish collection ) scratch cards bus tickets and what ever other money pinching ideas. 6 take off's 6 landings , a million pa' once you know the Pa most of the no 1's let you do them and if your irish you will always do them coz some of the polish dont like doing them so you will have no choice.
you must count everything on board the ac when you get on at the start of your shift and everything when you finish, so were talking about 5 bar boxes full of sandwiches and other crap , and 5 trolly's ,
there are four crew on board the ac , two front and two rear , if you get **** crew your day is ruined or even a bad number 1. on your last flight which could be a prestwick (pik) the flight is something like 20 while in the cruise ,so you need to get your drinks done scratch cards done , gash done, all the other stuff. then you have to count the bars and then count the money from you made that day. euros and pound.
so you could land at 4.30 that after noon and you would have to go back to the crew room sign in the bars , go to the base supervoiser and show him your inflight report and blah blah blah
so your not getting hom till like 6 pm , by the time you get home all you want to do is sleep ,and you have to be back up to do it all again the very next day .
you get your roster online and all your memo www.crewdock.com is for ryanair cabin crew , we get all our updates for policys and training materials . so you get your roster for the month but online 1 week is set and cant be changed unless they leave an note in your pigeon hole.
i did alot of extra days for them and they are meant to give them back to you , and they dont.
no ones cares about anyone , manement dont like you and walk all over you if you let them,, they are WAN#$%ers,no joke ,
I'm a very nice person but this company just took everything from me , then ran me so far into the ground it was unreal.
you have to pay for everything , they don't pay for one thing, its just money money money , after paying for everything during your training and not been payed , you still have to work one month (back month) and when you do get payed the next month its like ( 700euro) which will go on your bills and leave you with 10 to feed yourself for the month , you will to make you way to and from work , rain snow , 1 am at night, you have no choice to take a cab coz no bus.
i just want to say to anyone who is thinking about going to work for these ppl , is to please make sure you know what your getting yourself in for , i know the buzz of the job will make you go for it , but for your own sake just hold out for a little while longer and apply elsewhere and get a job with a company that will look after you .
i love flying and i love doing the job , but omg they drove me mad ,
remember , **** pay , long hours, paying for everything , including your lunch when your on the ac all day with a shop , bad management , don't care about you, and they take anyone on , my interviewer just said to me when i walked in the door , are you irish ? i said yes , she said do you want this job so bad and i said yes , she said YOU HAVE IT
there was 50 at my interview and 50 ppl got it , now thats saying something , the trainer had to drop 40 people coz they could not speak English good .
JUST SAY AWAY FROM RYANAIR AND WAIT FOR A REAL JOB WITH A PROPER AIRLINE

Help my, please..Ryanair
Hi, I just passed the first selection with Ryanair (cabin crew) 
During the interview did not ask if I had tattoos and consequently I have not spoken.
Atually I've got a big one on my arm.
What do you think? Some of you have already had my same problem? I can possibly wear a long sleeve shirt also x summer? Thank you very much, I really appreciate.
Bye bye, have a nice day!!

Ryanair application
Hi boys and girls,
My name is Kris and i live in Belgium (Brussels Capital). I am 35 and applyed to become Steward at Ryanair trough Dalmac and StJames and got from both a email that i am invited for the Assessment day. One is on the 3rd of january in Stansted and the other one in Girona on the 16th of january. they asked me to confirm asap by mail wich i did, but...........i won't be aible to attend those days due that i couldn' get any day off at my employer on that short notice and that i would like to appoint some other day to attend the assesment days?. I work as cabin crew (Purser) for the high speed train Thalys Intl across europe and we have completely the same systems as in the airline industry.
Untill now they didn't replyed back yet in order to let me known if there are some other dates on wich i can attend.
I would like to be based in CRL, how much chance do i have to be based there? is there anyone here working for RA and based in CRL?
It doesn't bother me that i will have to pay for the training, cause i will use RA as a start and have my flightlicense. Once i have my license, after a year or so, i will start using that license and start apply for other belgian company's. I know for excample that Brussels airlines prefer people with a minimum experience. Ik know a Girl whom flew with RA before (CRLbased) and apllyed for Brussels Airlines and got accepted.
Please do advise me.
Mny thanks,
Kris

Virginia: "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."
easyJet only takes about 1 in 16 applicants. Ryanair will take 14 out of the 15 remaining...

no so bad
HI!!! I think people exagerate when they talk about ryanair....every experience is different and depends in which base you are....the companie is one of the biggest and yungest one and give people who are..lets say...small uggly and not so nice, the opportunity to work in a nice job. Of course is not because they are nice..they need everybody cause they are expanding to quick, and because of the rumors people don´t want to work here...but is a good start, and as well you can do carreer here...there are always opprtunities!!! of course it has it bad side, as all the companies, but very good things, like beeing at home everyday, exellent cockpit!!! nice work colleagues, new aircraft, and that you can be sicere to your passangers!!!! ´I mean if you don´t like somebody nobody would care so much about you making a bad face to that Pax...cause they will think "it is ryanair!"
about the bases : Hahn is really nice but only if u have a car...if not forget it! Gerona is perfect but is really difficult because everybody want to go there. Stansted the worse one..never accept stansted!Dublin, the same!!!bremen:amazing!!!! Marselle not so much work. Skavska/stokolm) the end of the world!!! not so good without car.Madrid..NICE!!! Lutton (not nice area) LIverpool, disgusting passanger! Bergamo impossible without car, the same with Ciampino (rome) NIderhein ( dusseldorf) diffcult without car...nice base. Bournemouth,....starts in april...Birmingham starts in june...Bristol...nice... I cannot remember any more!!!
well i hope it helps, and remember that how your day is going and how bad is the companie depends on you as well!!! smile and be happy they are giving you a good salary, staff travel and the opportunity to know wonderful people....

I used to work for Ryanair for 5 years and it was the worst time in my life......the good things that i can remember are just related to the nice collegues that i have met there!
Sometimes (as I am new at this forum) i wonder if there is someone from ryanair that pretends to be a cabin crew as i saw that some people are actually writing positive things about ryanair.......
.........it's crazy!I have even been told that sales come before safety!
Can you believe this?
There are plenty of airlines out there and almost all far better than FR.
They are taking advantage of their cabin crew and working for them will just compromise your helth.
I never thought that i was going to post something about them as they really made me upset but as i read that some of you want to join i thought i had to tell you about my experience.
I am still working in aviation and i love my job.....as i said....go looking for a real airline.....plenty out there.....it's what i am telling my old collegues that are still working there......they deserve better!
And so do you!

Where do I sign? 
Surely that is false advertising.
Funny, they try to convince flight crew to join by promising them they will be home every night. Bit of contradiction isn't it?
