5 on 4 off
RAT 5
I think all RYR bases now have 5 on, 4 off, alternating earlys and lates.
With the possible exception of some smaler bases.
By the way; EU just voted to stop the false contracting and a lot of other stuff to level the playing field.
A bit late if You ask me, but hey, good new anyway.
Maybe we have a winner of the race to the bottom.?

Hi Keith - unlikely you'd get EMA straight away, or anything in the UK for that matter. You stand a chance after a year although it's a bit of a lottery. STN after a year would be more likely.
Yes, you could park at EMA or STN but at STN at least you need an STN ID and can then get car parking. Not sure of the process for EMA but would suspect it's the same. As with most things in Ryanair though, you'd have to pay.

Pray tell more. I know the UK government is not keen on companies having a significant numbers on zero hour contracts, but have yet to table a bill to address it. If the EU are wanting to stop it, what measures are they going to take to enforce it, and when?

An Aviation Strategy for Europe
Was voted on in the EU parliament in Strasbourgh last week.
I just picked it up at Danish Checkin.dk and Googled it just now.
As to how and when, I have no idea.
But I retire in ca 12 years so add a day and we are close!!
On the bright side: Did hear that some LOCOs are heading for crewing problems
this spring and summer.
Some TREs have stopped TRE-ing.( or TRE-ing OTHER places)
Lovely.

hey guys!, i was trying to find information about RYR bases and how big they are, but can't find any useful information about Edinburgh, which is the one I'm interested in.
how big is it? and how hard is to get EDI? both as a F/O and as a captain.
Thanks for your help

As an FO you could, in theory, get any base you like as they're desperately short everywhere. But this is Ryanair, they take pleasure in putting people, especially low hour cadets who won't complain, as far away from where they want to be as possible.
So enjoy Trapani, it's actually quite nice down there.

They are desperate but they are not hiring NTR SFOs. I have 7000h jet time, looking at options to go back to Europe and they wouldn't take me for now... or this is what they said.

The onely shure way to know the nr of aircraft at a base is as follows.
Go to the web page and pick a day to travel out and a return day , Monday and Friday works. then see how many aircraft leaves early and arrives late.
This is done in less then an hr.
Remember, some bases dobbel in the 8 month summer season.
This , I find, is the only shure way to know.
They may pop in an extra aircraft in July August, but it is compensated by Floaters.
Good luck

The bases on offer are negotiable and the more popular ones such as those you mention would be difficult to get straight away. You can expect around €5500 average net per month except in Italy where you can expect 800-1000 extra, so somewhere around €6500 or even more depending how many Italian domestic sectors you do.
However, my understanding is for non-rated DECs you don't pay for the type rating up front but pay it monthly out of your salary for 5 years. Total cost is approximately €20,000 so I guess a deduction of around €300-400 can be expected.

I've met 3 ex FR pilots who have recently rejoined having left over the last few years. All Capts though, so not sure about FOs.
Edited to add although I've met 3 recently there are plenty more than that coming back in total.
