RYR Base Transfers
Hi there,
Seems to be that people are moving to different bases at the moment, does anyone, who works for the company, know if this is mainly FOs getting the transfers at present or are captains managing to get transfers as well or still waiting? Maybe processed once FOs have been moved?
Thanks in advance

Its frustrating when that happens, there 'could' be a list but where you are on it is a mystery! And they won't tell you where you are on it, then move someone once line training is completed, whether it's FO line training or the command upgrade, when they need someone in a certain base which fills the base again. Oh well, still hope

It's funny because I applied for that base the same day it was announced, then completed the moodle survey... And they say they don't use seniority. Probably the pick up people randomly...

The lack of a fair and transparent base transfer list was one of my major factors in leaving FR. Oh, and some annual leave would have been nice, not just 3 days here and there.

There just doesn't seem to be a fair system in place, whether it may be seniority based or another reason, I am in quite a desirable base but want to change for personal reasons and the commute is too much in the summer, I am lucky I am on a 5/4 roster as I feel sorry for some people on the 5/3 in the summe who want to commute.
It would also be nice to have a date when the transfers will be done by, to put people's minds at rest for the time being and also for managements sake to stop people calling up whilst they are trying to sort bases out.

RYR Base Transfers
Still not heard of any captains getting the transfer, I have applied to get out of one of the unpopular bases to another not so popular base (but for me is home). Then I hear some CU guys got sent there very recently, but apparently "it's full". Add that to all my requested days of A/L being denied last week ...

Sadly, there's no rocket science involved here. Ryanair have always used the (non) base transfer system to their advantage. They use emotional blackmail against those pilots who want/need to be in a specific base for personal/family reasons, and will use it as a means to lower T&C's, for example, a new command upgrade, already on 90% salary, so you want to return to xxx base? no problem, that'll be another year on 90% salary, cheers!
If you want STN or DUB, my advice is to apply for RAK or FEZ, then buy an apartment there, and I guarantee, you'll get your base transfer the very next day! Or you can hope that Ryanair falls out with the local authority/airport, throw their toys out the pram, and close the base, giving you first dibs on other bases!
I hope you all get what you want. I know how
it is, when you're stuck hundreds of miles away from home, without a clue of when you'll get back.

737 Jockey- very fair comment! I still haven't heard of the Moodle system working, I hope that people start to hear if anything changes, if I hear anything about any captains I will let people know, FOs seem to have moved but that was down to the normal base transfer system, see what happens then!!
