Here is what some of our current crew members have to say;

Aiste



My name is Aiste, I am from Lithuania. I have been working for Ryanair in Dublin since 2006. After my first year I was promoted to the position of Cabin Services Supervisor. I love to be a part of the international company with its different nationalities and cultural diversities. Every day brings me a new story, and if the story doesn't come to me, I can always use our staff travel benefits and take a trip to one of our many other destinations around Europe.

David



My name is David and I have been working with Ryanair for almost 5 years. After my first year I was promoted to the position of Customer Service Supervisor. I thoroughly enjoy my job and the life style that comes with it. The work can be tough at times but the people that you work with make it a very enjoyable. My favourite part of the job is the travel benefits, not only the cheap flights across Europe, but also the discounted travel to the States and other parts of the world.
