Ted,
I read your PM. But I don't reply to them.
If you want to be truthful, you made it perfectly obvious that you work for Virgin Atlantic in your previous posts on this subject. You don't work for Cathay or BA. You work for Virgin. Or so you make it appear.
All I asked is if you plan to pay your bond before leaving us, not before leaving US. I never made it seem like a brotherhood. Only asked a question.
Anyhow, I offer you all the best if you want to go back to RYR. I hope it works for you. Sorry you are jumping ship early.

hey stan
gday stan,
i re-read my previous posts on this subject and the only thing close to stating that i work for virgin is the fact i fly a big bus!!! surely there are other big bus operators in the world and even in lhr for that matter who fly 13 hour sectors on ze bus!!
ones bond with ones company is none off your buisness,would you not agree?
anyway,thanks for your best wishes,i wish you all the best in virgin......who knows i mightnt even get back into ryr and i might just be staying exactly where i am
each unto their own............

Ted,
Don't get tetchy about the bond. It is a fact that if you work for VS and leave inside 3 years, they WILL pursue the bond.
However, if you are made redundant they won't.
I know how you feel. I got into a real low point at VS around a year in. I couldn't stand it, but it seems it's a common thing to happen.
It does get better.
Anyhow, whatever happens, I hope it works out for you. BUT DO THINK CAREFULLY. The blues will disappear, the good times will come again.
And if you hate HKG, don't go there!!!!! I always get rid of mine without any hassle.
You could try more East Coasts too. Get a sector every time and only away 36 - 48 hours. It's all I ever do.... believe me.

I left Ryanair (I was a Captain on the 738) on good terms a few years ago, and at the time was told by my Base Captain, that if I ever wanted to come back that I would be quite welcome.
I have now tried the [email protected] link twice since November, but have had no reply.
I know of a few other 737 Captains who have never worked for Ryanair, who are being put through the selection process at the moment after emailing this number.
The Ryanair recruitment page has just been updated, and candidates are now being asked for a Ł50 deposit for any applications

They did it before for quite a number of years, and a nice ittle earner it was too ( I believe it's "inventor" is now doing very nicely out of the "Brookfield" idea . . . . yes DD doesn't miss a trick )
It was made even more lucrative by the number of wannabees who ignored the clearly stated entry requirements, and paid the fifty notes thinking that would get them an interview ( lambs to the slaughter)
They even had the audacity ( or was it a mistake
) to charge me twice on my credit card, well at least I got the job. Still waiting for the refund that they advertised at that stage for sucessful applicants though. Is that still the case, or they just keep it ?

Why can't you keep your sarcastic but more importantly ignorant comments out of it?
Lots of people including me actually prefer working for Ryanair! I wouldn't thank you for a widebody job - in fact I turned down a 747 command after resigning to come to Ryanair and don't regret it for a minute.

Nightsun: They have changed their policy in regards to rehiring former employees. Maybe it's because they have enough applicants, I dunno, but I know of several who left just before it peaked and now have been made redundant, and they've told me that Ryanair will not rehire them.

The horse may say something, but both the horse and what he says changes by the day.
If people are needed, they will be hired, if not they won't be. Right now, the only people needed are cadet willing (and stupid enough) to pay for a job that will involve little flying as the cutbacks continue. Aeroplanes are grounded, the next results will be disastrous. FR simply do not need more pilots as the cut backs in the flying programme accelerate.

Thanks RYR 738 JOCKEY and Camelhair. I had come to much the same conclusion myself, and on speaking to a few RYR people who are close to the decision makers, that is what they have said too, although they say that as always in RYR there is nothing concrete in this.
We all know the company though, those of us who worked there for a while, and when it suits them then the policy will change, there will be no announcement, things will just change.
On a separate note willy, crilly et al, these are serious issues, prune was never intended as a chat forum, and many pilots who have important things to discuss and sort out just stay away from it because we have to dig through all the personal dross and point scoring.

May I suggest to those that have left Ryanair but are eager to return to stick it out where they are, it will get better. The problem with many of us that got our commands with Ryanair is that they allowed us to believe that we knew what we were doing. Unfortunately we didn't, i've learnt more in the last 18 months than I did in my five+ years at Ryan.
Big fish small pond and all that.
Good luck which ever way you choose!

How about learning about worldwide ops outside of Europe? Or about the complexities of decision making in a long haul operation? Quite interesting in it's own way I think.
On another note: how about learning what a pension statement or company healthcare looks like.
Amongst other benfits of course.

Stansdead, I was actually getting at this:
"The problem with many of us that got our commands with Ryanair is that they allowed us to believe that we knew what we were doing"
Now anyone who got their command in Ryanair, and thus thought they know everything, should be removed from the left seat. Especially if they think they know everything about long haul ops, of which there's nada in Ryanair.
Do I personally know anything about long haul ops? No, nor do I claim to, and yes I'm sure it's interesting learning the ropes. Conversely, if a long haul pilot came to Ryanair, I'm sure he'd find it interesting too, and he might learn a thing or too as well.
Healthcare? I have my own.
Pensions, no I don't have one of those, nor will I bother with one. I had a close friend in the states work in an airline for 17 years, and then it went bust...started again from the bottom, eventually got his command (again) and then lost his pension as many did in the US.
But I certainly wouldn't get lulled into a false sense of security that I know it all once you gain your command, I've found that's when you’re most vulnerable.
