Just bringing this thread back to the top, I'm another EK 777 skipper from the UK looking at options to get me home.
Any update of latest contracts, commuting etc, whats the latest flavour of the month?
I fly with plenty of ex RYR guys so I have a good idea of how the place has been, and I dont need a lecture on the ills of the place. Im after a good unbiased opinion bearing in mind the key thing is a stable income and a stable roster. Presently at EK I'll be dead by 55 at the rate they are working me.

Thanks one and all in advance

Think it twice, in RYR you will fly 95 hours/month and 30 sectors

Fancy Navigator - I applied as type rated DEC. In the end decided against the move though, for a couple of reasons.

Guys, sorry there's a bit of conflicting info on here. For the UK contract DEC at a regional base, what is the approximate take home basic excluding sector pay please?

Depending on whether or not you make pension contributions approx £3500 to£3900 net per month excl sector payments. Incl sector payments expect approx £5000 to £6000 net per month, all dependant of course on hours flown. RYR contract all taxes and N.I. paid.

Hi all
 

is the assessment for NTR DEC sama as described in other RYR thread?

Do you have to pay for it? What about the rating costs, upfront or deducted from pay?

Cheers,
a

Much better than the new easyJet Contracts!

Hi guys,
NTR Captain 10000+. I applied a week ago at official Ryanair site. How long do I have to wait for an interview? Any idea?

Thanks!

I got called 1 hour after I sent in my application. 10.000 hrs as well, NTR DEC. Will join them soon.

SOF base
 

Last week I just sent an email asking them to confirm media reports about SOF base opening in October 16, I got a phone call the next day.
The guy that called hadn't read through my CV. He did not know I am NTR. Just wanted to know when I can start the OCC.
Told them they need to put something on the table... before asking me about my experience.
So that was it.
I'll wait to see if they will send me any T/Cs particular to SOF.
Wizz pays there the lowest basic/sector pay across their network...
Cheers

I got an interview date with Ryanair next month!

Would you, please, give me an idea about the tech and HR questions? And the sim profile, please?

Are they the same as cadets/FOs?

Thanks for your time!!!

p.s. and another one...do you pay for your Type Rating?

Oh sweet Jesus :ugh:
