And what % of salary do Ryanair contribute towards their final salary pension scheme?

Oh yeah and when did you last have a beer with a Ryanair pilot in Barbados?

Don't just look at the "salary" there is much more to it.

Your right guys,

I,m only looking around for a better quality of life, and yes we do work our butts off... But... She's got used to spending the dosh,and the rug rat keeps getting bigger!

Still, could be a lot worse, talking to a few Irish guys with their JAR CPLS working on the ramp at DUB as ground crew,hoping things will pick up over there.

Maybe look at the Orange contingent.

Britannia are looking for about 20 people, preference to type rated but they WILL recruit non type rated. Courses early next year. Starting salary £36,681 + sector pay+allowances. Good pension (at the mo). Most likely bases "up North". Sim used to be 732 (not sure now). no fleet change until 2008. Excellent company to work for, good mix of flying I do an average of 14 sectors a month 600 hours a year.

Q: " Give the date and your age when you first started flying training" oh er!

Q: Copnversion training "Type from....Type to"

Q: "How many attempts to achieve first solo" (thought you cold only do first anything once)

Some bad news I'm afraid. As an ex-OATS student, I have been talking with Mike Taylor about Britannia's recruitment. Seems they won't be looking at light aircraft pilots (i.e. guys/gals who have just left flying school) even if we have 5000hrs.

I had the application form all ready to send back. Looks like we'll have to wait unitl they start recruiting Second Officers.

Talking

"How many attempts to achieve first solo"

Does it really say that?! Unless you chicken out on the taxiway how can you possibly make more than one attempt at your first solo????

Sounds as if the from hasnt changed even if the requirements have.

The recent recruitment drive has a lot higher requirments than previously. But there are plenty of low timers swimming in the hold pool. I believe there is a remote possibility that they will be looked after eventually.

Given up and moved on.
