Home every night ?
 

Hello people.

I don't want to complaint.And i don't want to cry here.But as a 737 pilot i am looking for a company that will let me sleep everynight at home.

I recently passed with ryanair and untill today i was happy, but i have heard that also in ryan you sleep out of base.

If you fly for ryan can u please tell me your experience and the base you are in?

I will be based in Dublin

Thanks

rare occasion
 

i have been there since august 2003.
first on a storm contract--and whilst on that, spent a week in HHN 3 separate times.

after going onto ryan contract- i have only been sent on single overnights 3 times. one in dublin, one in pisa, one in prestwick. had been on standby days and they positioned me to operate certain flights, or started in STN and took over a series of flights and terminated in another base after the last flight back.

and i have heard of others who had gone tech outstation and had to spend the night unplanned.

but no scheduled flight series which include overnights.

No night stops whatever...

It all depends on your contract.
If you are employed by Ryanair, you will be home every night.
If you are a contractor, with a base, working 5 on 4 off, you will be home every night.
However, if you are a contractor on a 5 on 5 off floating basis, you will be rostered all over the network, one week at a time.

Home every night, I wish.

Have to re introduce myself when I go home.

Home every night - why would you want that? :confused:

Cheers

P.S: if it's the Mrs. wanting you home very night, then she must be high-maintenance! ;)

well, i want to be at home everynight because i like to go home to my things.
I feel lonly when i sleep outside.

I really don't like that feeling.

SO ryan for my is the best option

home every night
 

Pimo, Have you tried at home employment, sounds to me you are really in the wrong field of endevor!:)

i do have tryed home employment for a long time.My father always gave me money for everything.I do this job not for the money but for passion.

I have been at home for 25 years without working and it really feels nice to have money and not working.
But now i work and i want the best conditions for the person i am.
So Ryan for me is the best company so far.

What about you?

I think that you need to just stay home so that mommy and daddy can change your diapers.

Have you ever considered a girlfriend?

Do you think that she will want to move in with the parents too?

Well ,since i just bought a F430 i really would like to be at home every night to play with it.
When i i go somewhere else i can't play with my baby.I really miss it so much.

So i still want to fly and in the same time enjoy my life.

If i can do this i have everything.
I live with my parents already since they pay for everything .
Why should i move?
:)

OK, so not every night, but more than the 7 last month would be nice!!

Mrs, high maint, kidding are you, been flying Europe for 6 years now!

Well ,since i just bought a F430 i really would like to be at home every night to play with it.
When i i go somewhere else i can't play with my baby.I really miss it so much.

So i still want to fly and in the same time enjoy my life.

If i can do this i have everything.

Why should i move?

Seriously?

You think that its normal to live with your parents all of your life? Do you have no interest in women? (or even men?)

Have you always been this way or did you ever have a life?

When I was in High School you couldn't keep me home. I was out with friends every night and a new girl every weekend. College came and it was even worse, my parents had to work hard to get me home! Why be home when there was all those women that wanted to get drunk and do other things every night?

So again are you serious? You cant leave home for even a night? Have you ever thought of sports?

This should be in Jet Blast, the way its going!
Ryaniar means home every night, barring unforseen diversion or out of time. Very rare indeed.

Well, i do bodybuilding and i need time to do that.
With ryanair i can do it no problem.With the company i work for, i can do it in a not professional way.
I sleep out 10-15 times per month and i don't like it.

I am just talking about what Ryan can offer to me.
I like to be a pilot and in the same time i would like to do whatever i want in my personal life.


At this point reading all the posts i understand that Ryan is a good thing for me.
I can't wait to start with them!!!

yes you will be home every night. but not for many hours.

On lates you usually arrive home sometime just past MIDNIGHT! the wife and kids will be sound asleep so you can rub your little F430 as hard as you like and no-one will know.:)

and then when on earlies you can expect to hear the sound of your alarm clock going off at 4am for 5 days in a row as you prepare yourself for another 11 hour 45 minute duty day . Must dash, its day 5 and i'm feeling fatigued.

yours yawningly,

It sounds nice to me!!!

Where i work i have 4-5 days off per month and when i come back from flights at night the day after i wake up at 4 and i start again.

5 days on and 4 off would be so nice.
I already smell the melt rubber on the road now :)
With 4 days off and a F430 i don't think it would be hard to find girls then...

Really wish the best to all of you

Pimo

I really have to know if you are joking pimo?

You sound nothing like a serious pilot - more like a spoiled brat."

I answer:
I am serius very serius.When i do my job i do it at the maximium level.
I do it with an learning attitude every day.
But when i am out i am a normal person who just want to taste the beauty of this life.Like you.
But having fun doesn't define you as a not serius person or a brat.
I am just another lucky boy who(thanks God) was born in a family who could give him a lot.
I am an extremily generous person.I would say i spend more then half i make for everybody else.I pay 1200 euro a month for my mothers girl friend who has economical problems.I always pay dinners when i go out with friends.I really don't care about money.And above all i respect everybody and i don't judge.
Believe it or not i do all this not to show off but because i really like the happines of everybody and i put everything else underneath.
I have seen people more rich then me that when it comes to money they would die for them and other people with nothing giving it all.But this is a different story ,this is about the person you are.
Maybe i am a brat as you say but i try to help and be generous.In my personal life i just want to be happy and enjoy what God gives me.Maybe tomorrow all this will be gone but i really don't regret any of the things i did.
I hope you really understand me.

Well you saw my original post before I made the edit.
The comment I removed since it is not for me to judge.
But I just really wondered if you were serious - and now you tell that you are, so fine with me.
And as long as you have the right attitude when you are flying I don't care what you do when you are off duty.
So please if you are a generous guy - go waste some rubber on that F430 :cool:

Thanks for your understanding.

When i'll have time i really really will waste some of that rubber.

Cheers:)

I thought being away from home was one of many perks of the jobs, you could become an instructor then you'll be home everynight.

If i were you i would work for ryan air and leave aside home factors, as a 737 pilot for ryan air will be eaten by another person very quickly. Otherwise you may regret it later down the line, as you are busting your chops off in a dead end job just so you can stay at your house at night?

PIMO

I have to say, i am surprised at how many pilots can be taken in by this school boy line.
Just has to be a teenage wind up.

BALLSOUT.

Ryanair recruitment, they've done it again... ;)

Go and waste your F430's tires... :bored:

BEWARE OF THE TROLLS

:ugh: PIMO your sir are clearly strange. Not so much that you HAVE to be home evry night, but they way you HAVE to be home every night if you want to part of aviation. What do you expect?

Mommy and Daddy might wipe your arse but the airlines wont.

i am a pilot and a man in the same time.

If i can fly be at home everynight, this would be the best for me.To be honest i like when my parents wipe my ass.It feels nice to go home and have somebody to talk to.
Who said you have to live alone? who said you have to be away from your parents?I talk to my father and mother like i talk to you everyday.Maybe you don't need your parents because they don't give you what they give me.
If you live alone because this society makes you believe that, i think you live your life far away from what you would really have.I do what i want and i never follow what you tell me.As i man i have needs and i am so lucky i can satify them every day.
Personally i believe that my life is much better then the other guys at my age living alone.I feel happy this way..

First off, I am a happy guy with a loving family, good friends(which would be of some use to you) and a wonderfull girlfriend. And why? I know what responsibilty is.....becoming your own man. Im not saying dont talk to your parents, don't try bother twisting my statements cause my Mom didn't raise no fool my friend. You are tottaly dependent on your parents when it comes to $$ and security, try growing some balls and living in the real world and to be honest I think your parents are just as bad for not seeing it.

Secondly, I dedected a bit of bragging in your last post about your parents doshing out money whenever you want which I wouldn't bother doing either. My father is making well into 6 figures per annum and I dont take advantage of that. For example I ran a few flight schools by him which I hoped to attend 1 of which was oxford. My dad offered to ''help'' financialy but I declined. Instead I started a 4 year electrical apprenticeship yesterday in which I could be shipped abroad @ anytime to work on an industrial project.Im going to bite the bullet and go through with it....Because while saving a large majority of a good salary I can attend a more affordable but equally reputable flight school, mabey in the states.

Now your probably saying to yourself ''Why would he even do that? H e should take his parents money and go to a decsent school'' But dont forget your spoilt and depend on your parents. Im doing it because when/if I get to a right hand seat I know I put myself there and not my parents wallet or by beign childish.

What I think is obvious to myself and other pruners is that you actually have the nerve to say you are only looking for airlines that have you home every night!!! Pull your head out of your arse mate cause it doesn't work like that. If you had a true passion for flight you wouldn't give 2 f$$ks about what times your assigned to fly and count yourself lucky to even have the oppurtunity to fly in the first place. Think of all the lads world wide busting their ass to even get an interview.

Im not even angry at you, I feel sorry for you. :rolleyes:

Time for bed pimo you have school in the morning :hmm:

well, why should you be angry at me?
Just because the way i am it makes you angry or sorry?

You choose to do whatever you want in your life.If you are happy to do another job to become a pilot be my guest.I am happy whatever makes you happy.
Since i am a free person i choose to do whatever i want and this doesn't make me spoiled.If me and my father share his fortune why does it make me a spoild brat?Becoming a man is not strictly what you say.Is not doing military service that makes you a man,otherwise nature would have made us all soldiers.The definition of man is something that changes from culture to culture.I don't know what your point really is about choosing to work for ryan.If working for ryan makes me a pussy then i think you should revise your idea of beeing a man.In my life there is sot only flying.
I wish you the best with your decisions

Can't believe how narrow-minded some people are. Not everyone in this world has to live by your rigid set of rules and dogmatic cultured constraints.

Pimo, I salute you. Enjoy your Ferrari and lifestyle. (And try easyJet ;))

Beign a man is making your own life not robbing it from your daddy. A man is making your own sacrafices and commiting to responsibilty. Once again dont try twist my statements. I never said ryanair was for pussies....i would be very gratefull to fly with them over not flying at all and second of all i never mentioned that doing military serivce is becoming a man!!!

Pimo,

Your profile location is Vancouver

I didn't know Ryanair had a YVR base.

Should be an interesting commute to get home to mummy and Daddy at night:ok:

whatever
 

Without thinking too(oooo) much about your personal little issues here, the point is pimo - and I hope you can at least SEE that -, it is not your God-given right to get a right hand seat with FR, or for that matter ANY other airline, just because you dad CAN, WILL or DOES pay for your flight education ( and probably the 73' typerating ).

I hope you realize that there is some dispute in this thread because your point of view is that you shall get the muffin's chocolate pieces, just because you will drive your Ferrari to work (you have to pay for parking with FR btw :E )... There are TONS of cadets ( including myself! ) that would break into your daddy's house and steal your Ferrari just to get that FIRST turbine job!!!

Life is not all about "daddy's gonna fix it i think".....maybe you'll never realize, die a happy man's death then...but trust me, the odds that you WILL are quite high.

Off to bed now...grammar school tomorrow ;)

Different strokes guys, being home every night is very important to me too (i dont mind the odd stop over as it comes with the nature of the job) which I stated in an interview I was in recently. If pimo wants to live his life that way and is happy doing it then fair play, leave him to it, dont bash him. Also, Ryanair aint the only airline that allows that type of lifestyle, there are quite a few that get you in your own bed every night barring delays/cancellations/technical problems.

Well, refusing your father's money is your own choice, i don't think good or bad of you.I am not twisting your ideas and i know you didn't say anything about the military.I was just saying it to show you that a man is a man also not doing a military service or getting money to your parents.
Let me ask you one thing.Did you get where you are without asking anything?not even one penny?since your answer is no you are like me, the difference maybe is in the amount of money you got from your parents that might be different from the one i got.So where is the man you are talking about?Since yo got less money then me it means you are more a man then me?i work since i was 16 years old.Today i am 30 and the cars i had really never changed me.Not having debts didn't make me a spoiled man but just lucky.It depends from people to people.

i was a pilot since 24.Have been all over the world to fly.I fly in a 737-400 since 2 years ago and for 6 years i have never been at home.Since i got back home for the first time in my life i started to waste some money in fun.I thought i deserved it after all.Free to do and think whatever you want but if you think that suffering is the best way to achieve something come and work for me at minimum wage in my factory so i can make you so happy.I would reccomend to start as soon as possible to fly.If you have the opportunity do it now and not 4 years later.Maybe 4 years later the market will close again for another 4 year and then you will remain just a dreamer.Think very well about beeing a pilot later.Age in this enviroment is extremly important.If you want to be a pilot just Fuxxing do it now.Why wait?maybe you really don't want to do it.

pimo ?
 

Please Spare us of this threat and you'r most ridicules " Belly Aching" :)

Ahhh age...didn't know that, thanks! Could your dad also buy me a 73 rating while we're at it? :ugh:

Life's not THAT easy for everybody my friend.
