Hi
Hope I don't drag this 'off topic' but did you mention that an ex Ruinair guy is on his way to our sandbox out here? Care to post that in the ME forum with a summary of what we camel drivers can expect???
Happy Christmas to all

Here we go again.
What Wonder Brat and the rest of the whingers fail to mention, Uplinker, is that you'll be flying a brand new glass NG Boeing. If like the others, you have no substantive experience to speak of, you might care to reflect on your great good fortune in having the opportunity, regardless of the starting T's and C's. Its a bit tough to begin with, but what worthwhile industry isn't? After the first year, you'll be taking home around 4000 quid per month after tax(UK bases). Worth a bit of discomfort in the beginning? I think so.

Missed the point completely
Ms Turret, you missed the point completely. Don't you think flying a "brand new glass NG Boeing" is worth something?
Like pay? Your types of attitudes are hurting this industry and are precisely why the wages are so low, get it?

Moderate, Modest & Mild.
Roll up, roll up.
You'll be flying a brand new glass NG Boeing filled with unsuspecting passengers, that Mr O'Reilly is willing to let you practice on.
Pay us only 45 quid a day for 4 months, and then YOU get to ride for FREE.
Roll up, roll up. New Boeings!!

The figure is right on for a very good month. But next month it might be £2500.
Expect £3500/month average as SENIOR FO and that is not after the first year but more likely after 2...
But any way the money IS very good in FR

Twerps?
Personnel Agendas?
In the land of the blind...
The majority of pilots dont like Ryanair, and many leave on a constant basis...one of the reasons why they are constantly on the look out for new pilots...
There are plenty of anti-Ryanair related topics on this website, just run a quick search and take your pick...one got censored by "the plaintiff" when they threatened legal action against this site!!
just shows how they dampen things down...Ms. Turret is either naieve or not what he/she appears to be...

If...
you hear just one person blaming one company....disregard,
but when you see lots of them who fly there doing the same.....consider.
I`ve flown for a company with the same problems and believe me things are like the way people say.
But if you decide to join a company like Ryanair ,you are not going to jail.....you can always leave....

Majority my arse, Chooks. The vast majority of folks, whinging English nothwithstanding, are contented campers at Ryanair. The number of people leaving Ryanair when considered against our 800 strong pilot corps is average for the industry.
The reason why we're on the lookout for pilots, Chooks old thing, is to staff our rapid expansion. And yes, private agenda. What the REPA thing is all about, even ignoring the vastly underwhelming exercise it has become, is the BALPA agenda to score a major LCC scalp, thereby entrenching the Pasha-like privileges of their legacy carrier members.

Missed the point, Nosegear? Thats some really first rate projection there! The opportunity for cadet pilots, those with nothing more than 300 hours in their logbooks, to commence their careers in so florid an environment as a highly profitable LCC is more than reward enough. The hardships only endure whilst one is under a training contract, and after that, the pay is anything but low, get it? The rewards of persistence and determination at Ryanair, as in life, are manifold.

So, start at Ryanair and bring your own tent? Hmm, at least our grinch lets us stay in the airplane for the 3 1/2 hour layover in ATH.

ryanair any positives
hi all,
I read the ryanair debate over and over again and I just wonder is there any positives from working with them, it all seems negative, I have friends that work there and like myself if had the chance jumped at paying for their type-rating. My friends tell me that they enjoy flying for them and say that it is a great opportunity and one downfall is that you find yourself living in places like italy and spain which is difficult if you are trying to watch your money in paying back loans.
This topic is for anyone working in ryanair that can give a positive side to the company and conditions if any. I would also like to know how they find taking out a loan for the type rating, paying it back and surviving on the low pay that ryanair are said to give low houred pilots.
It would be af great interest to hear how a recent low houred pilot has got on within the last couple of years from staring the typ rating with them, all feedback would be great
happy xmas and new year to all.

Missed again
You continue to miss the point Miss Turret. Lets not get into a slagging match as I think your comments on "stinking harbour", "do the chinese have that (xmas)?" show your complete ignorance of aviation and the wider world in general. I have never applied to Ryanair as I have no right of residency in Europe, just so you know where I stand. And do you honestly think I would trade where I am to work for Ryanair?? See above re: ignorance.

So Ms. Turret, we should all be thankful that we are able to put money into the pockets of the Ryanair execs but not expect fair compensation for doing it?
Do me a favour. In any company, the employees allow the company to function, they are then rewarded by getting paid for their labour. Why should pilots be any different?
Unfortunately people with your attitude seem to be becoming more and more prevalent in this industry and it's stuffing it up for everybody else as they try to "get ahead of the game."
Bosses like O'Leary are laughing their socks off, they can get highly qualified people at no cost and then they'll work for free aswell! Who are the idiots here? It certainly isn't MO'L..........
