Ryanair 5-on-3-off roster, what does a week actually look like?

    For those at Ryanair: the fixed pattern sounds great on paper. What's a real five-day block like? Earlies and lates mixed? How many sectors a day?

    Five days on, three days off, fixed and published well ahead, that's genuinely the best thing about the job. A block is usually all earlies (04:30-05:30 reports) or all lates (finishing around midnight), not mixed within the block. Four sectors a day is standard, sometimes two on a long rotation, six on a shocker. No overnights at most bases. You know your days off months ahead, which is rare in this industry.

    Wizz is similar in spirit but less fixed, our pattern varies more. The predictability at Ryanair is a real selling point for people with families.
