Iron Walt. Rumors that’s all that they are is just rumors about non existent paychecks.
The true facts of life about flying for Ryanair under the Brookfield Aviation contract are as follows:
You pay for your own accommodations during training. Bed and Breakfasts run about $40.00 a night. Bus transportation will run about $3.00 a day. If you qualify for the OCC program… it’s a self study program… that’s the way it is… down and dirty… no hand holding.
You receive no pay during line training while a safety pilot is on the jump seat. You receive half pay once the safety pilot is no longer required.
You receive a €20.00 override when you are flying out of your base. That pays for your hotel and food. You are usually ahead of the game.
Money is transferred to your bank account on or about the 15th of each month… no games are played with pay.
You will be based where you are needed, which is explained to applicants during the interview process.
They flying isn’t bad… new planes, home every night… don’t have to worry about flight attendants showing up for trips.
