Oh! Got you now!!!
Further to my original post they don't have a pension or loss of licence like proper airlines. An orange future is a far better deal considering that most CJ pilots end up there.

EINino if I look any further east for the Banana Head I'll be looking in the sea. Maybe from some place further east where they grow banana's. Probably a few muppets there as well.

Hey Greaser -

Mahnaaa Mahnaaa

Plenty of muppets out there - If I remember correctly that's one reason why we both left!!

An orange future is a far better deal
Last time I drove through B'Fast I saw a hugh poster advertising for a certain telecom company,
" The Future is bright, The future is ORANGE " it said.
Wise words perhaps

See you at the Christmas party...

xigboeing - when you say training at RYR, what do you mean, the Chief Training Captain or the sim planning?, I hear that the number of people at NEMA Trng Centre is declining, why?

Shame, I heard it was a different place atmosphere wise since a certain "Vertically Challenged" chap was shuffled off the premises. A Regime change so t o speak

Oh my god! Are you kidding? Who is going to take over now? Suppose it will go back to the shambles it was.

Is this likely to effect people waiting to be type rated?

xlgboeing - they also have a position for jars administrator, don't suppose you know the £ / € on offer do you, or is it the case of what are you earning now and we will match it!

I work in East Midlands for Ryanair about 4 days a month so I feel I can clarify this. LJ is an assistant training planner who is leaving for personal reasons. There are four other very competent people in that office to takeover the work. Also I have heard that PB is putting a body from Dublin temporarily in to NEMA until they fill the vacancy.

There was Base Training last weeek where 24 people were trained - none of which had been waiting more than 1 week. They all get their licences and start line training this week.

Other parts of Ryanair may be chaotic but training has changed rapidly since PB arrived. There are more than 60 new line training Captains since April, the SIMS are packed daily seven days a week, all staff have their own phone nos and email and everyone has to be polite and answer queries quickly.

How long this will last none of us is sure. The trainers believe that if PB is leaving then it will return to the same old mess. Who knows. But things have changed.

"The trainers believe that if PB is leaving....."

Are you starting a rumour that PB is thinking of leaving?

Inveritas.
You are correct, there were 24 pilots base trained last week, Thats my point, you would be lucky to get 4 trained before LJ joined.
I am sure there are 4 more people in the office and I'm sure a percentage of those are competent. They were all there before though and we know how it used to run.

JB may not be too popular but he is competent, he is also probably not too happy with the situation at the moment so how much help he will be is uncertain.
