Maybe to deal with people coming from Norway?
Or Illegal immegrants coming from within the EU but not Shengen.
Maybe they have a plan to go intercontinental?
Yeah right!

Does that mean "being prepared to accept being regularly screwed around by senior management"?

What actually happened were that contracts were handed out for people to look at.

At the moment the only pilots who have passed the sim assessment and offered positions actually offered positions are trainers or those with other qualifications.

There were never that many pilots. only 24c/22f/o

When did the facts ever get in the way of a clever linguistic manipulation of by Ryanair? Every contract, every press release, every statement, etc. needs the closest of attention!!

You really wanna come to the US???
 

I keep reading how folks don't think it's a level playing field. WELL, IT ISN'T. In case you have been living under a rock since Sept 11th, the US airline biz is in the toilet, BIG TIME! I also keep reading about how much Ryanair is a shiite place to work so why would anyone care if us Yanks, Gringos, Round eyes, would go to work for them. We aern't getting hired at BA, AF,KLM etc... Man you guys complain alot on that side of the pond. Word of advice for you all-VAGISIL!!!:{

Dear Saturn

The US aviation may have been going down since Sep. the 11th but it has been in better shape before that. However in the last 35 years (my life) I cannot recall NON US citizens being offered a job in the Airline industry. I know of few European being offered a job if married to American and I also know of most of them being laid off once separation/divorce happened.

I would like also to make you aware that training cost on this side of the pond is often 4 times more expensive than in the US (a/c hire, landing fees, approaches fees, CAA taxes, …. Etc.), something you are not probably aware of or intentionally ignoring. You all American got your licence for a good deal and TR completely free of charge while WE in Europe have to get in debt for life just to get a Frozen ATPL then because company such as ELCHEAPO have to sell our houses to self sponsor a TR then you get here and also wants our jobs. All of these and more because they always have ways to bend the rules and none move a finger to stop them.

Considering that:

-European have never managed to get a job in the US airline industry for the last 50 yrs,
-EU licences are more expensive to obtain and maintain,
TR are usually to be self sponsored

I would personally forbid any NON EU citizen from obtaining any airline job in EU not just now but for at least the next 50 years to come.

The European aviation has been always in deep water not just since Sept the 11th sharing those few jobs with highly qualified pilots coming from air force etc.

wallycycle,
