Ryanair commuting lifestyle
Hi all, can you guys share how is commuting life working for Ryanair as a pilot? thanks for your help |
I don’t commute, but talking to those who do if you are not lucky with your base the 5 on 4 off pattern effectively becomes 7 on 2 off. |
I have been assigned a base with daily and direct flights to my city(2 hours flight). What do you think? |
I understand that you have to live within an hour from base, is this during your 5 on period? Presumably you can do what you want in your own time?

Correct. And commuting is generally uncomplicated (as it should be). However, I do get a bit irritated by colleagues who position in and then operate after little or no rest, and are about as sharp as a balloon on day one. It risks a crack down like what has happened at BA.
Anyway, the key to a happy life at Ryanair is to live as close possible to base. |

Experiencing long duty periods, but not being productive is as fatiguing . multi sectors, then a drive to the 3* hotel then more sectors the next day. with hours transits at base. Then amaybe a red eye the next evening.. The guys at my employer are keen for a ryanair style of roster. No one here’s afraid to graft, as long as the time off compensates . |
Yes, the roster is perfect. And it’s no more 900h / year. They hired so many cadets last 2 years, that in average you fly 60 hours / month. At least as an F/O, don’t know how it is for skippers though. |

Hundreds of new cadets every year manage Ryanair SOPs just fine, so experienced pilot like you should have no problem with that, right? |

Nothing like flying 899:59 a year and landing at 6am after flying redeyes with your current employer, right, samca?

Or maybe cadets are brand new in this world and they don’t manage fatigue yet.... who knows but anyway if they are happy that is the important I’m happy for them 😊 |
One more question guys,
Is it true with the new contract, you can split the 20 vacation days in 5 days 4 times? I know that with the 10 Ad Hoc days you can, but not sure about the 20 vacations days. Thanks again |

No, it is not.
Could you also tell us if it's a full local contract (like in Italy), or if it's an Irish contract that follows the Spanish law? And do they ask you to open a bank account in Ireland to get your pay? |

Even more confusing then! So, if I may ask: if you are based in Spain and live there, the social insurance is paid there, but what about the income tax? Is it paid in Ireland or in Spain? |

Aren’t they supposed to follow the Spanish law from the 31st January 2019 according to what they signed with Sepla last October? They are (were) supposed to do many things. Even by their own admission they are unable to fully comply with some local laws due to lack of crew (for example the parental leave in Italy) as reported in the latest ANPAC newsletter. One of the latest news in Spain is that it now seems they have accepted to pay the salary in any European SEPA account, thus eliminating the stupid requirement of having to open an Irish bank account. To be fair to everybody, it seems that, in certain fields, things are moving towards the right direction, even if at super hyper slow-pace, at least in Spain. |

According to Spanish law you are entitled to work part time due to kids. Is Ryanair accepting it? Thank you. |

Hi Full_blast, Thank you for your help. According to Spanish law you are entitled to work part time due to kids. Is Ryanair accepting it? Thank you. The answer is no. You can request parental leave which will be either allowed/denied or assigned at Company's will. |
So I understand they are not respecting the agreement they signed with Sepla, right? |

I am familiar to the law you are referring to, and it is in fact one of the major key points SEPLA is trying to get sorted. The answer is no. You can request parental leave which will be either allowed/denied or assigned at Company's will. |

I am not talking about parental leave. The one I’m referring to is the art 37.5 of the Spanish labor law in which you can work part time (50%, 80% of your normal work) to take care of the kids. Again, the answer to your question is NO. The only thing you get in Spain is P/L with the conditions I told you. |
So this article and the agreement is bull!!!!? https://www.google.es/amp/s/www.abc....ticia_amp.html What was the agreement between Sepla and Ryanair if they are not following the Spanish labor law? |
Full_blast, thank you so much for taking time to answer all our questions, it's very helpful! Not the answer I wanted to hear, as in my personal case I will end up paying a lot more taxes than if I had a full local contract. Hopefully things will change... |
As other colleague said. THE PARADISE 🤣 |

Anyone got a start date who did the assessment in April? |
Brexit and UK bases
Anyone able to confirm whether Brexit uncertainty means UK licenced cadets are getting UK bases?
Thanks, RL |
From talking to friends who joined recently, they all have had to change the State of Licence issue to the IAA.
I would imagine that will stay the same regardless. |
Hi Guys and Girls, we have have had tremendous success over the last 18 months hiring hiring 400+ Captains from across the globe, with many airlines going out of business including Germania, Primera, Privitair, WOW etc and base closures from Norwegian there was been a solid supply, as a result we have front loaded our Captain recruitment for this year. With new t's and c's, local contracts and very limited hiring elsewhere, we have very low attrition rates. We have no further plans to recruit Non-Type Rated Captains, we will commence recruitment again for Rated Captains in early 2020 for summer 2020 courses. Thanks to everyone who has been to one of our roadshows and met us over the last year. We will continue to hire First officers and cadets and our sister Airline Lauda Motion have open captain opportunities available for both rated and non-rated captains and this will be updated on our website accordingly.

I applied in February, and not heard anything yet, I have 2 friends that applied and got called the day after.
Ryanair is my top priority but I don't know what's wrong.. Thanks |

maybe the MAX problem has something to see with? |
SKG base
Any info about SKG base? How long should a freshly quilified f/o to wait until getting there?
|
Would it be safe to say that a STN FO, once 500hrs+ and upgraded from the cadet contract, would get £4000 net per month? |
