Not a bad deal in reality. 5 days on/4 days off roster, no planned layovers. If you can find a way to get EU/EEA citizenship (check your ancestry, particularly if you are Irish, German or Italian), it is actually not a bad job.
Was at FR. Floater... 5 days on 5 days off. Obtained a work visa and Irish validation on my license. I was given 18 months to sit for the 14 exams for the JAR (now EASA) License.
Contact Ryanair or Storm McGinley to see if an Irish work visa would suffice.
