Pretty much all UK FOs (certainly at the big bases) have been maximising hours, even this November many are hitting 90. The cadets "taking hours" was a story early this year and in 2021. In actual fact they have been scheduling some flights with 2 captains due to RHS shortages.

Anyone able to share the take home of an experienced RYR FO usually? Lauda was looking like £3500 take home from what I saw and it’s pretty grim surviving on that money in London.

All after tax UK based. Bank on £3700ish as experienced FO around £6k ish as CPT. LTCPT around £7k ish seems to be figures thrown around. SFI FO heard figures between £4kish with some older contracts up to £6k.

Is anyone able to share a realistic expectation on STN upgrade if you join with enough hours and perform to the required level? Are you likely to have to change bases? Friend got his upgrade after 18 months in Europe but had to move to a different country, they are very happy with RYR having done long haul previously.

Base Shenanigans
If you were to join as NTR in UK do they offer the base before you sign the contract? Can this be trusted?
and if joining as FO would you have to move again when doing upgrade?!

You would normally have to move to an unpopular base on upgrading, and would have to stay there for a very very long time, because the CC structured seniority so that ex cadet upgrades will slot in above you on the captains transfer list, meaning you will barely move off the bottom for the first 5 years, plus bank on a further 4-6 years to get to the popular bases.
That said, Stansted IS an unpopular base thanks to balpa's exercise in "leveling down" (pay reduced to the same as the regional bases where costs of living are far far lower) - so you might be able to stay there, if that's what you want.
