Ryanair website lists the following for pilot salaries.
Captains: up to 100k (I assume British pounds) if based in the UK
and up to 130K (I assume Euros) if based in the "Eurozone"
FOs: up to 70K and 80K respectively
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS EQUATES TO IN U.S. DOLLARS?
Pehaps Skybus will pay somewhat similar after they convert to a trip for pay system vs. their current salary system.

1 EURO = 1.3 USD$

Link to a conversion site. You need to remember a gallon of gas in Europe cost about 10 of our dollars.
There is no way this Dump is paying anybody 6 figures. But you'll get to pilot an Airbus, thanks for selling the industry down the river!

ryanair nickles and dimes you pretty well. 7GBP (14USD) per suitcase. You can buy an extra suitcase spot if you want for another 7GBP. Funny thing is, you still only get 15kg (about 30lbs) of weight per person, not per bag (in Nov 06 it was 20kg per bag). For every kg over the limit, you pay 5.5 GBP (11USD). This is not obvious or clear to anyone when you read their website. It becomes clear at Stansted, and line to pay the overages is huge. Now they have priority seating for 7GBP. They also force you to take this option if you have 0 bags (this is a recent change in the last month). They also fly into mostly remote places and they own a bus service at several locations where they will charge another 7 or 8 GBP. The cabin crew comes from a contract company and my experience has seen mostly E. European girls. I have no idea what they are being paid. The ticket prices are usually around 60 USD one way after you include the taxes. Although sometime they do offer some deals where you do not pay taxes. I paid .08USD, yes 8 cents, for 2 roundtrip tickets to Pisa.
It will be interesting to see how that business practice goes over with the American consumer, assuming Skybus goes the same route as ryanair.
