Ryanair Recruitment
 

This won't be to everyone's taste but for those still looking for work it's not a bad stop-gap measure...

Good luck to everyone!

Apparently several hundred Qatar pilots applied already.....

Interesting times ahead...

Being in the pool doesn't mean they'll all leave, but the fact that a significant number of people from QR seem to have applied there means they're looking for a new job, and it probably doesn't matter if they end up at RYR or elsewhere. The important signal for QR is that a lot of people want to leave.

Equally, it will be a signal for those interested to think twice about joining QR, because there must be a hell of a reasons to leave a well-paid five-star company, especially if hundreds of people are considering leave.

Previously well paid. The current increased workload at 30% realized reduction in flight allowances has negated the "well-paid" aspect.

Nothing, really nothing is interesting about the times awaiting us

Not forgetting the -25% pay cut for re-hired guys and a pay freeze for 5 years.

Does anyone know what Ryan Air are paying for Capt and FO?

Also what benefits does the crew get besides their free meal and drink each flight?

Free meal and drink? You are joking aren’t you. They have to bring all that themselves. Free O2 in a depressurisation if your lucky.

😅 I know, Michael OLeary is as tight as they come.

Do you have a source for this outlandish claim or are you just making it up as you go along?

Cathay Pacific used to have a 5/4/3 rule.
5 days off after ultra long haul.
4 days off after long haul
3 days off after a normal regional flight.

As with all the perks of being a pilot, these lovely treats all get taken away as our management fly our careers into the toilet.

More like given away on a silver plate by a bunch of self serving buffoons on the AOA GC, in exchange for a London base and “life style requests”.

Ask them how that worked out :yuk:

W patterns that gave more days off. Funny thing tho is since pilots had more spare time they gave them more work ha! Own goal by the pilots!

Whether it's the companies or the pilots/cabin crew, we always end up losing everything from pay, leave, retirement, fostering lifestyle options, medical, schooling etc.. it all disappears eventually 😩

Five Star being a corrupted purchase. This airline is known to dump you as a piece of camel crepe when diverted to some exotic place in China. My wife used to work at a 5 star hotel in Africa and she mentioned that the difference between a Qatar Crew and an Emirates Crew (both flight deck and cabin crew) was staggering. The Emirates Crew had style and the Qatar were just simple plebes! Perhaps things have changed, but that was reality a decade ago. Like it or not - recruit and retain quality or buy your way to the stars!

what a sad comment

Emirates pilots are far too good for Ryanair.

Living in your home country, sleeping in your own bed every night and keeping your marriage was enough incentive to have a small number of pilots make the move each year.

Now add in disgraceful treatment of retrentched staff and uncertainty over future employment, and a job with Ryanair doesn't seem so bad.
