Agree with above poster who replied to you. I hope it is only because your afraid of needles
I have no clue how Crewlink do it if they are responsible nowadays but many companies actually do neither, they take a cut of your hair. This can go back many months, over a year, and trace for illegal substances…

Hey yo
Considering a ryanair UK position. What would the pros and cons of a ryanair UK contract over a DAC one? (I'm eligible for either)
Is a Ryr UK contract available in all UK bases?
thanks

AFAIK , RUK only available where G reg aircraft are which seems to be STN, MAN, EDI , BFS

Hi Ptflyig,
I got the spanish base and T&C; still working on the 'take' home numbers as taxation in spain is not yet clear for me. All the numbers are in gross and in Spain you get some tax exemptions under some conditions.
You could PM me for more details.
If more established Spanish base F/O's around maybe they could help us with some tax clarifications as with no tax exemptions i might end with 3000 Euro/month take home with 70 hrs flying, and way less then that in the 3 months off.

Hi all, anyone here on an Irish contract? Considering DEC but purely for more time at home. Would have to be ORK or SNN bases for me or I'd be away the same amount or more on half the salary. What are the odds of getting these bases at present. Can you be dual based? What is approx. take home for line cappy year one in ROI? I have seen all the info above but seems to all be UK based GBP stuff. Must really love my kids after reading everything above and still fancying this!

Thanks for the info. I thought it would be that way. Not many options if you hail from Southern Ireland. Final query, the A/L allowance? Is that seriously the money you get if you forgo all your annual leave entitlement? WTF. I was under the impression that you would max out on hours at Ryanair and have to take time off at some stage in the year anyway. For someone unlucky enough to want to earn this (not me, time off > more cash always) would they then be forced to take this time off as leave at the end of the year in that case anyway. Seems very dishonest to include this and pensions in headline salary but as long as it is well explained I suppose they can do what they want.

I would say apply and see what you can get. It's a well known fact that direct entries skip the base transfer queues. I still think SNN/ORK as captain would be very difficult but what's there to lose in applying and seeing?...

Current SNN/ORK captain basic is €100,000 (+3,000 each Apr 2024/25/26) plus €43.01/SBH
Annual allowance is €6,000 (taxed at 40%)
Dublin is the same except it's €44.22/SBH.
If you're into LTC it's an extra €16,000/PA (-40%)
