What you actually keep
The cash figure alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Ryanair’s accommodation policy — not provided — crew live locally to their assigned base— changes the real comparison against an airline that pays a housing allowance you have to spend on rent, or one that provides nothing at all. Compare packages on what’s actually left over each month, not just the headline number.
