Im sure ryanair wouldnt use so much energy on scaremongering if they knew norwegian would go belly up in a couple of months. Waste of resources. Something Ryanair hate. A lot can be said about the evil empire and its leaders, but they aint stupid.
Hundreds of ryanair pilots have joined the ranks through the last couple of years, and the vast majority have stayed on. Myself included.

Join now , Get Your base!
 

And how many in RYR think that is fair when waiting to win the preferred base lottery after 2 to 12 years in the company. Oooops , just lost a few hundred right there.
A lot can be said about Dublin, but " Smart" has not been one of the words lately!

Totally agree, vacant positions in bases should go to existing pilots.
I've been here nearly 12 months now as a DEC, and got the base of my choice, I consider myself very fortunate, but I cant agree with the principle, even though I benefited from it.

However, I'm meeting loads of guys over the last few months all getting their chosen base, so the base issue is improving dramatically.
