Good growth, a lot of destinations, new airplanes, really good maintenance, very good training system, good SOP culture, wide range of career opportunities inside the company, amazing roster 5 on 4 off.
Tight turnaround schedule, always 4 sector days close to limit FTL, missing support of the company on general work related problems, aircraft have no additional options like sunshades and no onboard meals for crews, extreme long duties, missing help from the management in case of problems, sometimes messed up organisation for out of base transportation and proper hotel accommodation, additional duty hours not paid on fair price, instability of base openings and closings, type ratings to be paid in advance by cadet,…
Change treatment of pilots and CC, overthink the crew/aircraft ratio (missing pilots, extreme duties for the few of them). Give the crews like other companies a proper profit share if the financial numbers are reached. Think about some privileges that help the crews during long duty times (food, accomodation,…).
Good first job, if you are lucky with the permanent base and contract then ok, otherwise it is really bad. This company give a great base for the career. There is a high fluctuation of pilots, this can change your base allocation…
There is none pros
bad managament
close
Don't even waste your time talking to them
-High diversity of destination (depends on the base) -Crew
-Worst HR ever. Had to beg them to be paid the first months flying, no answer to replies, no consideration, payslip full of mistakes... -Very hard to contact someone in the company if you have a problem. Ryanair has an internal system in which nobody answer. can send them 10 times your queries: no answer. Perfect when you need help -No information: no idea of what to expect for incoming months. Particularly during cadet training -Had to pay for everything. Even the drug test (50) -rebased at the last minute. Have been aware of it 4 days before being transfered -low paid compared to what you need to pay to work for them. A cadet may expect to spend a total of 45000 before receiving the first pay: 30000 type rating + 5000 licence, uniform, ID card, etc + 5000 for living in UK during the 3 months training + 5000 of miscellaneous payment Then expect a monthly pay of 2000 -etc...
Buy a soul
Please, guys, I understand that the promise to fly 737 when you desperately try to find a first job looks awesome compared to Ryanair cons. But for sur, you'll regret it. It's easy to think you will join ryanair just to build hours. But bad things happend as soon as the first month working for them. When you are stuck in a base you didn't ask for, with very expensive house rents and low pay, far from home and family, with lots of difficulties to comute home, you will reconsider your pilot carreer and how you see the pilot life. This is Hours building Vs mental health
The crew
Everything, worst company Ive ever worked for including part time ones while in college
Get a new CEO and respect staff
Just dont join please because you will regret it. Management hate pilots and your nothing more than a cost to them. I know current employees who want to give up flying because of Ryanair.
Stable roster
Poor training, horrible working environment
To disappear from the face of this planet
Avoid it
