All depends if you’re on a normal employee contract or not. If you’re a self employed contractor you only get paid once you start flying. Vast majority starting now are on a normal salary from day 1 in the company.

I don’t get what point you’re trying to make. The guy had a question on when you start receiving a salary at Ryanair. Day 1 of groundschool if you’re an employee. Day 1 of line training (ie flying) if you’re a self-employed contractor. You normally have a choice of which contract you’d like to take.

Because the net pay you receive when you do start flying can be significantly higher than if you were on a ‘normal’ contract. I’m not here to get into a debate about the rights and wrongs of self employment but ultimately net pay of the self employed guys can, in certain circumstances, be a lot higher. Hence their acceptance of working ‘free’ for groundschool.
