Ryanair Pilot Salary
I was reading up on the news about Ryanair's row with the pilots.
They quoted " Ryanair has taken the unusual step of publishing staff pay and benefit details online, claiming pilots earned between €190,000 and €220,000 (£169,000 and £195,000) a year.". I was shocked that for a budget airline that this sort of pay was available. Can anyone confirm how likely it is to get to this level? and what bases these sort of opportunities are available?
I am currently doing my research on all the SH airlines with UK bases, Would like to get a bigger picture on the lifestyles of these pilots.
Appreciate your time.

There are no annual increments at Ryanair so this is the basic salary. You will start on this salary as a new FO. It will increase due to the annual pay increases prevalent at this airline.
As as far as life style the 5/4 roster is brilliant until you realise it’s actuall 7/2 because you’ll probably start your week at an airport other than the one you’re based. This means you will have to travel in your own time and at your own expense on your last day off to which ever airport they tell you to go to. Then when you’ve finished your working week you might be lucky if it finishes at the airport you started at but if not you might have to get a flight home to another airport and then get a taxi to the airport where you parked your car (using the car park pass which you have paid for). If you’re even luckier you might be able to do this on your last working day but if not then the first of your days off will be taken up by flying yourself, at your own expense, around Europe until you get home.
But hey on nearly quarter of a million a year you can afford it.

Well if you are a journo those pay figures are utter bollocks. O'Leary openly admits to following the Mein Kampf / Hitler approach of it doesn't matter if it isn't true, say the big lie enough times and people will believe it.
Those figures for both pilots and cabin crew are maybe paid to the top few percent in incredibly senior positions on a month with overtime.

As far as I know a friend of mine told me that once you are in your base you rarely have to commute. You will find a lot of angry people on this forum who just enjoy bashing Ryanair.

Oh give it a break with defending every negative thing posted on here about Ryanair. Yes Ryanair is your first and only airline job in aviation so the Stockholm Syndrome is understandable but mate they are a joke to work for and you will one day understand that once you get a job or two under your belt from an employer that respects and values you.

Ryanair have been throwing lots of numbers around. Recently they stated that pilots salaries were STG250k and even published a pay slip to back it up. It was pointed out by some FR pilots that the payslip was of the chief pilot. Anecdotal evidence would suggest a captain would earn roughly 100-120k. Remember this is the airline that insists its pilots only work 18 hours a week! Usual smoke and mirrors by FR so take anything they say with a grain of salt and apply a good dose of common sense.

On flying as much as you would expect Capt £126904 and FO £72458 looking at the last contacts. If your include their pension contributions (as they do on their scales) they will match what you put in up to Capt £8000 and FO £5500.
That is UK. Isn't that bad actually in the loco side.

What about sector pay?
