Every profession is the same though. Just to use one example: Accountants benefit from the use of computers with programs like Sage, which have cut down workload. No accountants are finding excuses for their pay to be lowered however.

becoming chartered accountant these days is much easier though and money is good only if you are department manager or finance director.

ok points taken,thank you.

a ryanair line training captain/sfi/tre does earn a tidy sum no doubt about that ,certainly a lot closer to 160k EURO than 100 k i can assure of that.

talking myself down is a bit harsh,im just being brutally honest in my observations.look at this situation logically.of course pay increases would be welcome anytime ,the more the better.However take a step back and look at the situation.ryr is a european low cost short/medium haul carrier to expect excessive sums of money is ridiculous however it would be welcome.now compare ryrs pay to logan air or someother regional in the states.massive diff isnt there.ryr and other pilots nagging about pay all the time is a bit rich i think.the top ryr salary would be probably close to the top salary bracket in most societies,as opposed to the poor son of a b....ch in the states flying around in a TP or commuter jet on buttons.in my opinion a pilot salary is decent nothing to complain about,your going to be well off etc etc,more is welcome but for short haul europe=pushing the boat.im sure most people with agree with that interpretation.

ill state again pay increase welcome but certainly not to be expected and for ryrs operation thats fair enough.end of

yes money in accountancy is good but the first few years your on ****e.

CAmelhair my old mate
 

I see ur back slagging off everyone and everything.

If you were flying airliners while we were in school then whos fault is it for accepting diminishing t&c's?????? The 12 yr old playing fooball and doing his homework or the people who vote "yes"????

And with all ur VAST experience im sure there are plenty of carriers out there with the decent pension and free water u so obviously crave !!!!


Now give it a rest and stop trying to **** all over peoples expectations. I really doubt there are many here who are sooooo blinkered as u portray to understand that ryr are a unique entity. Someone who is willing to actually answer an email about a job or even give u the chance to get onto the first rung of the ladder!!!!

:ok:

good stuff
 

Can I just say nice one for this. I am about to finish TR for RYR. So much you hear beforehand and so little is true.

Returning vagely to the thread subject does anyone have any advice for a wantaway 200hr 737 pilot to get a look in with Ryanair? My current roster allows me very little time to go home to see my family in the UK and I dont know if i can take this any longer.
Can anyone tell me if their 500 hr requirement is open for negotiation and who i can get in touch with for advice.

Chintito, mate forgetit. They are so up tight, it's a wonder their bums don't fall off. Now on the first page of pilot recuitment they ask for this:

"737 Rated First Officers - Pilots who have at least 1,500 hours JAR 25 experience and 500 hours total time on the B737-300 to 900 series with an established airline may be considered for a First Officer’s position."

Even BA don't do that!

Breakbreak, Yes i fly a new, (few months old, not RYR) 800, with a glass cockpit. It is easier, however when the side peels off an aircraft, Quantas, then we really do earn our money. I wish that people would realise that small point and help the rest of us fight for our rights.

When a Doctor makes a mistake the patient dies, when a Attorneymakes a mistake his client dies, when a Pilot makes a mistake He dies. Just a thought

Has anyone who left there CV on the 5th July open day heard anything yet?
Cheers

Nope. I don't know of anyone else being called forward from that open day either. A bit strange to see they have another one arranged for this weekend too.

Glad it's not just me then....:eek:

EK

A couple of guys I know who were at the July open day got a call from the recruiting guy the following week to see if they were interested in coming for an interview.

Whoa Whoa Whoa....

OAA have a "wall of shame"? I can just see it now, a group of well to-do lads/ladies sitting round in armchairs reminising about how glorious their training was, and how fair the industry is, yet shunning the poor pilot in the corner who is not worthy of the wall. :ugh:

Horgy

When you have something intelligent to say, make sure others understand you when you post.

There is a notice board at OAA with the names of those who have successfully obtained jobs, both via the Waypoint scheme and Integrated.
By no means is it selective, and is just a statement of fact.

What this has to do with this thread I am at a loss to understand.
As you have posted so many times, maybe by now you would have understood how to post on topic.

Agreed. It is a statement of fact. Get a job, OAA put you on the list. Why not?!
