Ego writing cheques your body can't cash, huh Mav?


Now, try again, to read my post correctly
OK, let's try that.


You need an additional 6-7000 euro to pay for hotel, food, accommodation for the 2 months duration of the type rating
Which prompted me to say that if you spend 7k on food and accomm for two months you are a mug. During my type rating I spent about 20% of that, maybe £1200, and lived very comfortably. But in your latest post you wrote:


4.5 months. NO INCOME. 2 months for a hotel in SAS and CAE? add other expenses beyond your basic room! Now pay for 2.5 to 3 months for a hotel/B&B, food & other expenses, during your line training....NO INCOME STILL!... plus existing loans to pay off, the list goes on..yes it is 6-7000 euro!
Which of course is not what you wrote before. Nothing wrong with my reading ability, pal.


Ask any ryanair pilot
I am one, and I don't really recognise much of what you describe. Perhaps you will do as I have done and disclose your interest here and hence where you are getting your 'facts' from, or are you just regurgitating the rumours you hear like many Ryanair commentators. I really don't need you to tell me how terrible things are when, given the general state of the industry, FR is actually a pretty damn good place to be.

BTW,


during your line training....NO INCOME STILL!...
Wrong again, I'm afraid. After safety pilot release, about two to three weeks into line training you are earning money. Are you just guessing when you make these sweeping statements?

Maverick--- Remaining credibility gone in just one post
 
Please tell me about these paycuts in FR? This should be good.:rolleyes:

No pay during line training? 35 euros per hour after safety pilot release actually. Then 56, then 70, then 78.




How can you talk so much s:mad:t in just one post?

irishpilot1990 24th Jan 2010 03:37

dont feed the mole/troll/trouble maker:ok: untill he has evidents for his "facts" at least

jiffajaffa 24th Jan 2010 10:36

Paycuts have been issued in Brookfield (remember you are not a RYR employee, RYR employees have recieved pay freezes) my contract is 75.5 per hour new lads joining on 5 euro less per hour across the board. There is some truth behind the costs of living away during the line training and TR hotel rooms cost in the region of 50 euro per night. I found a house to rent on the TR so was lucky enough as for some of my friends ended up staying in hotels and weren't so lucky! as for the line training.. lets get something straight here YOU ARE PAID however after you are safety pilot released after a min 12 sectors average 20-25 sectors however you wont see any pay until the following month (paid monthly) the costs do mount up during line training. Hotel rooms costing you a min of 50 euro per night work an average of 15 days a month thats 750 euro usually takes a couple of months to finish the training thats 1500euro hotel costs alone then take into account food, drink, transport etc so do think of the bigger picture when planning you expenses for a RYR training scheme.

Sure, any numpty can spend £50, £100, or more per night in a hotel. Anyone with an ounce of common sense (this is where a lot of posters seem to be having trouble) can do a lot better than that. My TR accommodation was £320 per month about 10 minutes away from the airport. £20 per day covered my food and accommodation bill.

Yes, the line trg can be a financially tense time, because although you are earning, like virtually every other job in the world you are paid in arrears. During much of line trg I did use a hotel and had to put it on my credit card. £35/per night 5 mins walk to the crewroom. Credit card paid off in full with my first paycheck and enough left over to start putting a dent in my type rating expenses. A little bit of financial common sense works wonders. Unfortunately, many commentators here choose the worst case scenario as typical, expect to live as far beyond their means as possible, guess most of the facts and pluck the figures out of their ar$es. Standard Pprune Ryanair thread.

Torque.

You are dead cool!

I can feel a song coming on Mr. Torque.....Smooth Operator

Laugh all you like fellas.

Go around flaps 15 -

I may be wrong but I believe anyone signing a BRK contract recently is on €5 less sbh than someone who signed 2 year ago. That's a pay cut of €4kish?

fpuentegomez 26th Jan 2010 14:06

question: about how long did it take from applying at CAE and getting the call/e-mail for the assessment?
thnx in advance

irishpilot1990

Other companies are on their knees and if it means taking a TEMPORARY pay cut of freeze then so be it. But MOL apparently has €2 bil in the bank, hardly staring bankruptcy in the face is he?

Unfortunately it seems RYR threads get 2 ends of the spectrum, RYR haters and MOL bum boys. Neither of which give a true reflection to the cadets asking questions.

Yes I have been through the system. If you asked me to recommend the 'job' now, probably not. I don't have any regrets on signing up when I did, but I don't think I'd do it now.

Given the fact that due to the £ / € rate, the increase of the type rating costs, 5€ less sbh, forcing cadets to sign up to a contract that binds you in with an irish accountant on PAYE and the way screwing and rostering fcuk around with annual leave or should I put "winter leave".

Take it for what it is.

cruisepilot 26th Jan 2010 18:01

Does anybody have any information regarding the assessment at Stansted?

What kind of ATPL questions, and do they use standard departures en arrivals in the simulator.

Every hint would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance

go around flaps15 26th Jan 2010 19:25

Do not learn arrivals.


Do not learn departures.


Do read up on atpl theory.


Do become familair with pitch power settings for raw data flying on a 737.


Do learn previous IFR knowledge. For example what kind of entries into a hold?

CRM CRM CRM.

Do not try to out perform, expose, your sim partner. No matter how bad things are going for him/her try and help as much as possible.


If you are competing against your sim partner you will stand out like a sore thumb.


For all the wrong reasons.

cruisepilot 26th Jan 2010 19:28

What are the most important ATPL topics to revise for the assessment?

go around flaps15 26th Jan 2010 19:57

They're all important pal. Ace the technical pilot interview is the book required.

Airbusfreak 26th Jan 2010 20:15

ya i used that book too which is good if you are under pressure for time... but beware some of the answers are wrong in there most notably the lift formula

irishpilot1990 27th Jan 2010 17:57

snap i used book too..very good...covers 90percent of what will be asked!
do use atpl books too as some answers are not correct.:ok:

as flaps 15 said...learn 800 power settings and attitudes and CRM

cjuk28 27th Jan 2010 18:34

Anyone have any info on the stansted interviews???
What airports etc
Regards to all

irishpilot1990 28th Jan 2010 11:48
