BBC NEWS | Business | Ryanair closing Manchester routes
Ryanair is to switch or close nine of the 10 routes it currently operates from Manchester Airport, blaming the airport's refusal to lower its charges.

With the lifting of the UK base freeze does this mean new entry FO's may get a UK base and not posted to a European one. Or does it just apply for people waiting to get back to the Uk from abroad? How many acft will be based at LBA if any?

2 Aircraft at LBA.
Now that the uk bases are unfrozen positions become available all the time due to promotions and transfers. Timing is everything.
Only exception is capt positions at STN, there is a waiting list of approx 1 year for transfer.

Mason don't be so naive, next you'll be telling me that Brookfield and RYR are seperate companies and RYR pay the Brookfield pilots the same as real pilots? and don't profit out of them at all.....

Mason, it is entirely logical that Ryanair get a kickback for the TR. Ryanair themselves determine the price for the TR and they were responsible for the latest price increase rather that CAE.
If you look at the evidence, it is mostly Ryanair F/O's that are instructing. They are paid by Ryanair (or Brookfield) and so all Ryanair do is hire the sims from CAE. Now Ryanair would be quite foolish to allow CAE pocket €33k odd for the hire of the sims and a few weeks of ground school.
Secondly, Base training is carried out by Ryanair which is part of the TR. Obviously this is also a substantial cost which Ryanair are fully reimbursed for. I've no ideal how much money they make out of running TR courses but from what I've been told CAE make very little out of it.

The cost you pay covers the safety training at RYR's EMT facilities and base training. Your payment to the training provider, CAE/SAS covers this, so money swaps between the provider and the airline.
