Correct. And commuting is generally uncomplicated (as it should be). However, I do get a bit irritated by colleagues who position in and then operate after little or no rest, and are about as sharp as a balloon on day one. It risks a crack down like what has happened at BA.
Anyway, the key to a happy life at Ryanair is to live as close possible to base.

Experiencing long duty periods, but not being productive is as fatiguing . multi sectors, then a drive to the 3* hotel then more sectors the next day. with hours transits at base. Then amaybe a red eye the next evening..
The guys at my employer are keen for a ryanair style of roster. No one here’s afraid to graft, as long as the time off compensates .

Yes, the roster is perfect. And it’s no more 900h / year. They hired so many cadets last 2 years, that in average you fly 60 hours / month. At least as an F/O, don’t know how it is for skippers though.

men the roster is perfect? Come onnn! Are you serious? The roster 5/4 flying 900 hours per year with lot of days of 4 sectors in a Boeing 737NG with 1.678.673 Ryanair SOPs every sector, kills you. Simple!

It probably suits some people, haven't heard of anyone working 5/4 being killed by the roster

Hundreds of new cadets every year manage Ryanair SOPs just fine, so experienced pilot like you should have no problem with that, right?

yes maybe is the problem that experienced pilots don’t know how to manage the fatigue and cadets are experts. Or maybe cadets are brand new in this world and they don’t manage fatigue yet.... who knows but anyway if they are happy that is the important I’m happy for them 😊

One more question guys,
Is it true with the new contract, you can split the 20 vacation days in 5 days 4 times? I know that with the 10 Ad Hoc days you can, but not sure about the 20 vacations days.
Thanks again

Correct, 20 days split in 4 blocks of 5 days (13 days free per block of annual leave) at least in the italian contract. Ad hoc leave are 9 days (not 10) and 1 day is mandatory assigned by the company on 25th of december. Happy landing

It is an Irish contract that does not follow the Spanish law.
