Hombre, myself and (maybe) other posters don't really appreciate your sense of humor or what you might call, sarcasm.
We got it, you don't like FR; you said it time and time again.
However, may we kindly ask you now to back off a bit; don't tar everyone with the same brush and most important, there is no need to offend anyone, FR CC or not.
Rgds,
ATS

A job at Ryanair is entirely what you make it.
I've been working for 3 years now and I'm still going.
I still enjoy it in the main.
Unfortunately I hardly fly nowadays, now that the hours limit has been reduced to 100 per month. Before this I would do almost 160 hours per month, now I don't tend to work more that 40 hours (1-2 days per week).
You have to be emotionally tough and very disciplined, and accept that you cannot make any mistakes if you are to be successful during your probabtionary period. No lates, no sick days and definately no, no-shows!!
It is a great stepping stone to gain experience before moving on to larger airlines.
I have made a wealth of friends from all over Europe which is a huge benefit for working for FR.
My tip, make the most of the good bits, like the potential work experience, the friends you'll make, the majority of pax are friendly and good fun to chat to, and the pay is good enough once you get a Ryanair contract.
Put in the hard work for the first 9 months ish, and accept you may not get that much money at first, as it gets so much better when you get that FR staff number.
Once you are working you learn to accept the very important memos about tea towels and average spends!! lol!!

baileybabe honey, we got it!
You have an interview with Ryanair! Four posts so far and all about it, and all off topic.
What about using the ''Search'' button instead, as we suggest in the ''Please read BEFORE you post a question'' thread at the TOP of this Forum? Try doing things with some method and kicking your brains into gear before acting, that's a good training for the Ryanair interview.

ATS, I apologise.
Unfortunately, I seem to have upset another person who has sent me an abusive pm. I don't think they work for ryanair though.
C'est la vie...

current details
Hey everybody!
I'm going from Latvia and would like to start Dalmac courses in the near future (interview is already passed successfully).
In spite of some negative aspects here about FR, I really appreciate this work and would like to get it, but before to consider about this job and make a decision, I have questions to current CC, please share with your advise and experience:
- what is the real salary for juniors? I mean how much receives junior in first months NETTO after taxes and all charges? Are there strictly fixed limit of working hours per day or month, or I can easy get more hours if I request? Pls provide with real figures not MAX or average, but MIN, after all taxes and charges.
- base BGY (Bergamo) - is it easy to get it? or very big competition?
Thank you in advance!

Bases with Ryanair?
Could someone who currently flys for Ryanair tell me if they were given one of their 3 choices of bases?
Also, if you don't get the base you wanted how easy it is to transfer?
Finally.......would you say they were a good operation to work for??
Thanks

hey everyone.
i applied for ryanair via the st james management website and got an email the following day. Unlike most of you, I havent been invited to an interview, I've been invited to a Cabin Crew Training Day that costs £99 and it lasts one day. After completing this course I will get 'fast-tracked' to an interview. Is this normal or have things changed?

sorry, but this sounds like just another way for ryanair to make money out of people. £99 training day fee? thats ridiculous, when I applied you either got an interview or you didnt, obviously head office have been thinkin up of more ways to con both crew and customers, has anyone heard about them charging to use the toilet now? £1 a time 
.
As if its not enough that customers have to pay for a ticket, then pay for each bag, then pay to check in, now pay to use the toilet
. Where will they stop?
And dont get me started on how they rip off their crew. £2000 training fee, £360 for your uniform, £99 training day? makes me so angry they can get away with doing this, no other airline does. Seems to me that as long as your willing to fork out 4 all these charges, they will take you on.
