Thank you for sharing and your honesty. The pay sounds terrible. A few years ago I was shocked to learn that I earned more than an airline captain on a local low cost airline here in Australia. I wasn’t directly responsible for 150 lives in my job.

[@patriquemercier]

I love these Ryanair videos... thats why i started my own flight attendant vlog about ryanair :)

[@enfield7123]

I flew the first time in my life I am 58 .. all I can say the staff on the flight where brilliant I atuly don't think they don't get paid enough for the crap they take from the passengers And the staff walk up and down the plain with rubbish bags taking rubbish from the passengers but some of the passengers seem to think dropped all the junk on the floor is ok .. I think the flight attendants both men and women need a medal for the crap they have to put up with .. Some people don't need a jet to fly just a cattle truck More respect for the flight attendants and the pilot's and crew .. it's a difficult job And I think passengers need to show more respect for the job they do.... Me and my family flew from Manchester to the Spain 23rd came back 2nd January On both flights the crew and flight attendants where brilliant 👍🇬🇧

[@eleanorjourney]

I agree with you! Glad you had a nice experience 😊

[@caterinapelle9419]

Such an interesting video. Im currently considering to apply. Are you able to take annual leave? It doesnt say anything about holiday leave on the website

[@MrFrancocanada]

It's not talking bad about it. It's reality. Had my own experience on a different low cost airline, and it was not good at all.

[@bxlis]

thanks Elenor great video, i just applied good luck for me:))

[@IFLIGHT]

Okay, so basically it depends in which country you live in. If you work at Germany berlin you will get around 1600

[@fatimakhudayar8165]

1600 is nothing in Berlin you have to pay rent and food etc, as well as Berlin is expensive city.

[@nero1747]

YES 👏👏👏👏

[@radiolollipop2837]

so what do you do know. i know basic in manchester was £900, plus £6.54 duty pay. not really a lot considering it would take you to £1500 which is my basic pay with BA 😅

[@steevobarker581]

He's a superb businessman is Michael O'Leary of that there is no doubt. But surely he could pay his team from the time they arrive at the airport until they leave the airport? Having staff only last 6 months isn't helping anyone. But my question. I had a particularly nightmare landing into Malta in April, a thunderstorm. Do cabin crew ever get frightened? If so, when. Thanks. 👍

[@munkboyaviation]

Do flight attendants usually feel motion sickness or anything when they fly for the first time when working?

[@eleanorjourney]

None of my colleagues have ever had motion sickness during the first flights, but some have had ear problems and discovered pathologies that made it impossible for them to fly for example

[@vipa3825]

Do you get based at your country or anywhere? And when do they inform you about your base?

[@eleanorjourney]

I talk about it in my video "2 months as a flight attendant in France" :)

[@gerald8811]

Is Brindisi, Italy, considered a small base? Is it easy to transfer there?

[@eleanorjourney]

I don't know about Brindisi but in general is a bit difficult to get a transfer to Italy :/

[@empatiaenarcisi6650]

How and what is about fly attendant meals during your flights?

[@eleanorjourney]

I talk about this in my latest video. Ryanair flight attendants don't have meals included. I had to bring my own food with me, or buy the meals like a normal passenger😬 For other companies is different, but I don't have specific information about the kind of meals they have

[@Lucia-zr7vb]

Eleanor thank you for this! I am waiting for their reply, by the way, where are you from? :)

I'm not an eu citizens and I don't have the unristrected right to work in eu , I apply for job of cabin crew 12-05-2023 and in 16-05-2023 I receive email with English test and today they send me a new email with invitation for an interview online tomorrow if I success is they do visa for me?

[@eleanorjourney]

What I know is that they don't do any visa and they don't accept you if you don't have a European passport already, but there are different procedures if you applied to be based in Morocco. But things could be different now, so good luck!

Wow 😮 This is what I earn as a primary school teacher with 6 lessons (1 day) a week in 1 months.

[@eleanorjourney]

Can I ask you in which country?🤔

[@tanjaw9569]

@@eleanorjourney your neighbour country Switzerland. But with 1400€ I could barely pay my rent and health insurance. I need at least 3000-3500 a month. You could work as a teacher in Ticino with your Italian background😊. Or change to Swiss, Edelweissair (if you know German as well) or Easyjet in Basel or Geneva. I am sure you would earn around 3500-4000 Swiss Frances a month.

[@seren4740]

Yeah but in Switzerland you can barely afford to live with minimum wage. Not the same.

How did you afford rent and living in France with that salary ?

[@eleanorjourney]

The price for a very nice room with ensuite bathroom near the station was 450 euros I usually spent 200 euros per month on groceries 300 euros on flights and bus tickets cause I was basically traveling around every day off Something around 200 euros to eat in restaurants, phone bill, Netflix and other random expenses I never spent more than 1200 euros per month

[@rodrigomartinso.s.9902]

1.400 is definitely UNDER the legal minimum wage in France, how is that possible? The minimum wage now in 2023 is 1.700.

[@eleanorjourney]

Boy don't ask me😂 I would have loved to earn more Anyway, as I said in the video, since I resigned they raised they pay, I guess it's also because France changed the minimum wage

[@paulj2948]

[@goldoildiamonds]

I have a question if you can reply that would be greatly appreciated! Does Ryanair offer insurance benefits? Health/Dental etc.

[@eleanorjourney]

In France we had to make the Carte Vitale and things were basically covered by the State. Ryanair didn't offer insurances but I don't know if things are different in other countries

[@mariacristinaciampi3069]

oh well ... we know well that people who resign, like to speak badly of Ryanair

Cabin crews get pennies for real

[@paulj2948]

This is no secret. Flight attendants don't get paid much. You'll be scraping by. It's not a job to make money. And you can get a real job and work 200 hours a month and make $4000 with minimum skill. Crap job being a flight attendant.

[@seren4740]

200 hours a month is slavery😂😂 as a flight attendant I earn half of that for less than 50 hours a month. If you want to work like a cow for what for you is good money, go on. I prefer having free time😂😂

[@paulj2948]

@@seren4740 200 hours a month is a normal work week. Flight attendants can't complain they make crap since they hardly work any hours. That's all. It's a part time job that shouldn't get benefits or pension, etc.

[@papi8659]

Not a bad wage for a city like Marseille, she wasn't really able for the work at the end of the day . Can't see employers being keen to hire her now

[@eleanorjourney]

Lolll if you read my replies to many comments you can see that I always said I was perfectly able to live with that salary, but it was definitely not proportionate to the job. Do you work for Ryanair in an understaffed base with a roster with ZERO home standbys?? Do you have to wake up at 4 am and deal with 800 people every day?? Shut up if you don't. Many companies pay much more for WAY less hours. And I currently have a job that's paying me more per hour than Ryanair so take your speculations somewhere else❤️

[@ferret5002]

Does Ryanair give perm contract or is it hard to obtain? 😊

It depends on the base! Mine was permanent

@@ferret5002 yep, from the beginning, but there were two months of probation in which if you did something they don't like (strike, no show, late) they could just stop the contract at the end of the 2 month period.
