how many pilots do Ryanair employ
does anyone know how many Ryanair pilots there are altogether and how many people are cabin crew
i cant find a figure anywhere
all i can base it on is an avg. of 5.5 pilots per 737 800
so 5.5 by 227 = 1248

Er, yep 5 - 5.5 per aircraft is about the norm so that would be more like 2500, there are two up the front last time I looked.
CC ? well 4 down the back but it seems they work harder, so 4000 ?
Just a guess, but don't think it will be far off.

where are you getting 2500 from
227 737 aircraft by an avg of 5.5 pilots per aircraft = 1248
i should have worded it better
How many pilots does an airline (short/medium haul)need to have hired for each aircraft it has in its fleet?
maybe between 4 - 8 with the average of 5.5
Id like to know if anyone has an approx. figure on the amount of pilots working for ryanair

A little digging for you.
Check out page 59 in: http://www.ryanair.com/doc/investor/2009/20F_2009.pdf
A little trick if you are looking for such info: open the PDF and use the search function. Took my less than 5 minutes to find your answer.
And don't rely solely on the annual report. That's a dressed up, simplified information source. Go to the boring, full-of-numbers reports.

Interesting to look at the hours figure, its more than I am averaging but from my own knowledge asking guys, seems captains average 800-850 and F/O's 600-750 so that would put the average about right in previous post, I am currently looking at 665 hours averaged over my first two years on line.
Cant belive it took a few attempts to get the number of pilots X2! lol,, some guys might think there up there alone but there really are two of us

Give it a rest mate, you are giving me a headache.
1852 pilots / 16 pilots per airframe = 116 aircraft.
Even back in Mar 09 they had a LOT more than that.
No way they have 16 pilots (just to clarify for you that is Capt's & F/O's as there must be 1 of each at the front for each departure ) for each aircraft, I would say max 10 or 11.
If you divide 1852 by 10 (feel free to use a calculator
) you will arrive at "about" 
185 aircraft, which was probably about right in early 2009.
Now there are 210/227 , depending on the version you believe, like I said, about 2200 - 2500 pilots, give or take. From the 1 yr old figure you quote (3808) it looks like my guess of 4000 "lovely" (well the few in the calendar at least
) CC isn't too far out either, but really, does anyone care ? ? & if so, why for chrissakes ? ? 
BTW if you are still having difficulty with the concept of 5.5 x 2 x 227 I think you have some work to do before the 18th March

Employees per Aircraft at Period End . . .36 as of 2009
Ryanair’s ratio of flight attendants per aircraft increased from approximately four crews per aircraft (or 16 flight attendants per aircraft) in the 2007 fiscal year to approximately five crews per aircraft (or 20 flight attendants per aircraft) by the end of the 2009 fiscal year.

anyway I care and I wanted to know. Now I know.

Airlines calculate numbers of crew. Not numbers of pilots.
In Ryanair on average is 5,5 flight deck crew per A/C. It is going up an down throughout year, but not significantly.
If Ryanair has 225 A/C, simple calculus will provide you with so desired answer.
( Shhhh! number of A/C multiple by 5.5 then by 2!!!! Or if you have higher level of maths under your belly, then number of A/C multiple by 11!!!!!)
Off that number roughly 40% are Brookfiled pilots.
