Yes. Actually, it had been transparent for about six years, and worked fine, until the CC changed it to the favour of cadets, and much to the detriment of the DE minority. It's arguably less transparent now because you can think you're getting near the top, and then upgrading ex cadets add to the Captain transfer list above you.

Not in the way Ryanair do it - it's probably illegal to have a negative correlation between experience and terms. In other airlines where new FOs and upgrading captains have higher average experience, the correlation is broadly positive (but it's still on legally dodgy ground to run beyond a five year plateau).

Very likely if you have the right to work and live in the UK. Currently struggling to crew UK bases, everyone maxed out on hours.

Email address
Did anyone here make the info Webinar on Wednesday? The recruitment guys advised anyone who had applied, but not heard anything to email them with candidate ID number, but I didn’t catch the email address. Anyone know it please?
ToCatLady thanks for the reply above. Got the answer too on the webinar.

Back to basics....
Hi guys, Long time listener, first time caller. Just after a tiny bit of advice which, as present, seems to be very hard to find. Keeping it short and sweet - UK Citizen, UK passport, about to embark on the dreaded ATPL chapter, BIG question, UK or EASA exams? Main aim is to move outside of the UK, but are there any jobs for people in my position? Ryanair offer some type of hope for me, but with the whole EU baloney, just leaves simpletons like me, very confused on which path to take. 'm a couple months off the ATPL Mod1. Any advice would be well received.... apart from the "do both Easa and UK exams". Cheers

To work for a company based in Europe or Ryanair in Europe you need EASA. The UK licence is useless here and nothing on the horizon to suggest that will change.
If your desire is to live in Europe the problem you have isn't so much the licence but the fact (due to Brexit,) you no longer have the right to live and work in Europe. Do you have a route to an EU passport? If so then get your EASAs done.
If you do the UK licence then you can apply for jobs in the UK if that is a reasonable second option for you. But its not really going to help you for working in Europe much more than any other licence that you may already have.
You can thank Brexit for this situation. (And the stubbornness Europe post Brexit.)

you are best posting this question on the Ryanair thread under the Wannabee’s the forum as they’ll have the most experience. What I will say is don’t be fooled by the schools saying it’ll cost an extra 8-10,000 to do a dual rating. Total rubbish and they’re profiting from the confusion. Get one licence, and if you wish to convert to another do the process on your own.
I am still really struggling with trying to understand how Ryanair can operate non-G reg aircraft that are based in the U.K. with U.K. nationals but holding a Non-U.K. based license. I thought come January 2023 that can’t happen? Will Ryanair U.K. be forced to change a lot of their aircraft to G reg?

Thanks for the replies. Just all seems very confusing and unclear. The outlook in the UK doesn't look prospering for UK passport pilots as jobs seem to be very limited with a high amount of candidates. Other than Europe, do you know of other regions that largely accept EASA cadets? Europe seems to be a very grey area with the whole loop hole Ryanair are using.
Cheers

Sounds silly, but that is actually the answer.
