With experience, is Ryanair really that bad?

[the grim repa]

the young,infantile,just off the mothers tit type who know nothing about nothing but let on they know everything about everything.the pre pubescent,no scrotal hair type who shaves with a lollipop stick.the type who parades the high street in his 2 stripes like the cock of the walk.
yeah,i am trembling at your hobbies alright.is this the same guy who wishes he might meet someone who likes sea front walks in jersey.pass off 20 year old baby girl rambo and do not bore us with your idiotic,sports cart,jacuzzi,2 stripe boool****e.there are guys who just **** down the pan what you know about aviation.
wheres your pension?
wheres your loss of licence protection?
wheres your future?
wheres you balls?
you don't even own your uniform!

come on tough guy,bite again unless you are out for a moonlight walk with the cocker spaniel.

[Reluctant737]

Touched a nerve?

p.s. it's 3 stripe boool****e, not 2 stripe boool****e. If you're going to get personal get it right. And my pension/loss of licence insurance is in my bank account where it belongs, safe.

[Phantasm]

r737, whilst I cannot say I agree with all your previous sentiments, I wouldn't worry about grim repa. He's a well known stirrer and class A round these parts. He soon flees the scene when danger approaches.

[RED WINGS]

Reluctant 737 you say

"What worries me is the future for pilots. And I'm talking two or three generations ahead - it would be an awful shame if the great century of aviation (as it may come to be known) was only that, a century".

So why work for a company that is doing its best to destroy the future for the industry? I wish you luck I really do!

[Reluctant737]

Red Wings,

You really don't have a clue do you? I am an airline pilot. I posses 2,000 TT, and 800 hrs on 737NG. Where else is there, in the world, I am going to work, considering the current crisis, with these hours. Ok, and at the same time, afford to pay off my considerable debt, rent, bills, food, car tax/insurance/fuel and so on?

Anyone incinuating there is really any choice or space for maneuvre for low houred pilots right now is talking out their ar$e.

I enjoy working for Ryanair - we fly lots of sectors a day (=landings, = experience), home every night, good pay, good fun, good people...

As I've said before, Ryanair right now is a very welcome oasis in the middle of a desert of 'Oh sh*t'.

[Flintstone]

I wondered how long it would be before Phantasm came to Reluctant's defense. Shall we ask the mods for an IP check? Free tip for you Reluctant Phantasm, never play poker. You've too many tics/tells to bluff and gave your alter ego away very early on.

Grim Repa, Red Wings and ASFKAP. You've no idea who you're dealing with. This man, this sky-god, this........hero came up the hard way. He flew medevacs (on a PPL) for several whole weeks in the African bush in a C182 that mysteriously morphed (in a subsequent post) into a Caravan that crashed in the "jungle"* because of a fuel leak leaving him and a colleague with multiple broken bones and internal injuries. No, really. It's all there in his old posts. you should read them, they're hilarious

Reluctant. In Aussie parlance you've been sprung mate. Now cop it sweet and don't let the door hit you on the @rse on the way out. Somehow though I think you don't know when to stop digging and I shall watch your wriggling in this thread from my comfy chair.





*B()ll**** alert!! No bush pilot (I were one) ever calls it 'jungle'.

[captplaystation]

Reluctant, you must understand that when Grim is around (or indeed when Didimus maakes an appearance across on Repaweb ) it is not only forbidden to suggest that some things (nobody in their right mind would claim everything ) may be just hunky -dory in Ryanair. Neither is it permitted to stray off the "only" subject on the grim approved list of subjects.
So please in future stick to the grim approved script

[The Real Slim Shady]

The latest incarnation of "The Deal" is a demonstrable indication of the contempt PB, EW et al have for the revenue earners.

I don't mind accepting a pay freeze: times are hard.

Nevertheless FR rely on making 2 quarters "announced" losses to vary the agreement: they don't keep to it tho.

They haven't announced losses, but insist on an African dictator vote - " If you don't accept this we will stick the baseball bat up your ass" - which runs counter to the "agreement".

The they introduce other clauses which vary the terms etc

The answer is simple......walk.

When they run out of experienced Captains: when they have their first serious hull loss( they got away wth CIA), and the sh1t hits the fan...your man MOL can watch his millions vanish.

[Edgar Kilkenny]

I have followed this thread with some interest, it started out a fair question and then, as someone has mentioned already, reluctant737 started entertaining us with his life stories, quite the story teller.

I took the trouble to have a read of a few of his other topics/posts, the funniest being when he was held at knife point, even though he fancied himself as someone who could handle most situations and had planned what to do should that situation ever arise.

So, in your spare time, you think about flying 182's, what to do should you ever find yourself being held up by a knifeman, and now we can add crashing in a jungle to that list.

Quite the man for a boy of 20 years old.

Keep up the stories, they are brilliant!

[Ten West]

I like Grim Repa.

He's a duuuuuude!

[disco87]

Just like sharks, smell blood they all come swimming

[Reluctant737]

Flintstone,

I'm curious, just what is your bone to pick with me exactly?

That I paid for my type rating?

I'll be honest, you're difficult to figure out (probably just the way you like it, so well done), but it's easy to see you hold a grudge. Not a positively attributable trait for a professional pilot.

You have well and truly grabbed the stick and gone running. You've picked up on something that, to your senses, seemed 'not quite right', and are now on a quest to pursue that 'tick' to the world's end.

So I come back to my original question, why do you find it necessary to curb my heel with such frequency old mate?

Unfortunately (for you), PPRuNe is not a proving ground of sorts for pilots, but a place to share opinions, or I gather that's the idea. I have nothing to prove to anybody.

You'd be surprised how often I've heard all this before, from you, from the guys (and girl) on this thread, it's all crossed my path in the past. I guess I should take consolation that you're all rather tame compared to what I've been subjected to in the past?

No dear sir, I'm not the one wriggling - when somebody asks for an opinion, I will share my experiences. I've never hinted at some form of inner 'Godliness', 'heroism' or otherwise.

Indeed, this thread regards my airline, and poses the question 'is it really that bad'?

I have displayed my personal circumstances as a means to show whomsoever may be interested that I am getting by, and generally having a good time where I am.

So, Flintstone, tootle along to another bush on the plain that is PPRuNe in search of your next prey, because I'll tell you this mate, you aint finding it here.

Cheers

[the grim repa]

"soon flees the scene when danger approaches".Shoot man,between you and old reluctant there we should get the soundtrack to "apocalypse now" in the background.a right pair of little widow makers we got here.Shoot man along with phantasm the "744 skip"?????we got us a proper little a-team starting.

as for playstation,well feel free to drift off to any little old topic you want.what is REPAWEB,by the way?

go on,take a nice big bite,you know you want to!!!!you are still being raped by mol and his cronies,no matter how you butter it up.just don't try and drag people who know better into the **** to make you feel better.At the sound of the next flush,that will be your terms and conditions as "pilots"???going further down the potty,but you got a jacuzzi and "3" stripes so that is just dandy.

in the words of mr-t,"you going to feel paaaaain"!

and for flogs sake,regurgitant737,stop calling it MY airline.if it is possible,having read your past posts on everything from your theories on the evolution of man to how you singlehandedly discovered black holes.it makes you look like an even bigger numbnuts than you could possibly be.
please nasty mr. o'liary can i have MY airline back now!!!baby!!!

[Reluctant737]

what is REPAWEB,by the way?

Google is your friend.

Ooops Bloody hell, now there's a frightening thought...

[the grim repa]

is that the best you can come up with.pathetic!!!still don't expect much more,when we are discussing topics that may have reprecussions beyond midnight.take a little stroll,or relax in the jacuzzi,just remember don't FLUSH THE TOILET!!!

[Flintstone]

As predicted

In case you hadn't noticed I stayed well out of this until you decided to start playing silly buggers with your usernames. Other people pinged you too, not just me.

You had the sense to lie low for a while and it seemed you'd seen the error of your ways but as others pointed out you seek the spotlight, you just can't help yourself. In fact I'd say you display undesireable personality traits for this line of work. It has not gone unnoticed that you've tried to deflect attention from your tales, accusing me of stalking rather than discuss the transmogrifying C182/Caravan. Your downfall was over-egging the pudding, a common failure among Walts.

Ever wondered why?

Seriously, stop digging. It's embarrassing. Unless you're going to explain Cessna's remarkable machine that only you seem to have flown (oh, and crashed) I'll retire to the aforementioned comfy chair and watch.

[Reluctant737]

And yet you still leave my questions unanswered?

I tell you what, I'll go first -

I'm not going to contribute to this topic being dragged away from the original intent, but if you have a careful read through what I've written in response to your 'allegations' in the past, you will find every answer you seek.

It is not a transmission problem, but a reception issue in this case.

And what's all this about 'leaving it alone'? This is an open discussion board isn't it? Who might you be to tell me what I can and cannot do? You're scared that what I write may reach the delicate eyes of easily misled wannabes? Well get with it, what I write is real life and what I've experienced. It's not so much an embarrassment as much an insult. I guess every forum has its self appointed Sheriff...

[eagerbeaver1]

R737 - 800 hours on the 737NG in Ryanair is a second officer = two stripes.

You talk a lot of rubbish, I bet I can smoke you out on the line. I will guess you are STN based? Will you be supporting Balpa?

[Reluctant737]

I'd better get a hold of this one quick before I'm accused of fabricating my profession - I was rather hoping Brother Grim would have picked up on that to demonstrate he did have sustinence behind what he was saying.

My recent answer was 'yes'.

I do not support BALPA.

I was dissapointed.

[Scratch Pad]

Having nothing better to do tonight I followed this thread before doing a bit of reading of some old posts of one or two people here. Oh, dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Don't know about the rest of you but if someone was pointing out such howling disparities in my career I'd be going out of my way to explain any 'misunderstandings' but I don't see much of that here.

Expect some leading questions in the STN crew room over the next few days.
