At Ryanair there are no seniority lists and there are no complicated salary scales, you can expect to reach these amounts in 3 – 5 years, with more if you take on a line training role.

Hope this helps a bit.
I can't quote Easy Jets pay but at Ryanair, if you are American, you will be contracted by Brookfield Aviation. Your first year's pay will be at an hourly rate of 115 Euros per block hour flown. Brookfield will withold 4.50 Euros to cover recurrent simulator training. If you fly from a base other than your assigned base there is a 20 Euro per hour override paid. Therefore without TDY basing you will earn about 120,000 US per year.
