Re: Would you use an airline?

I can think of a number of airlines where that would be the case (my first paycheck was just a tad over €1000.- not that many years ago), but Ryanair is certainly not one of them.
Their pay is amongst the best in Europe, and their training and procedures are second to none. Of course, their working environment is not for everyone--to put it mildly, but then again ex-RYR pilots are the most sought-after in the industry, as they are a known quantity and high quality.
Disclaimer: I never worked for RYR (I applied but did not pass). Number of friends of mine do work for this company though, and I have the greatest of respect for them as pilots and as professionals.
I hope this helps dispel a myth.
