I know a chap involved in recruitment in a good airline who told me they actually try to avoid employing ex ryanair pilots where possible. His view was that as they are willing to accept such low terms and conditions in working for ryanair, he didn't want them dragging his airline down in the future.
That's the trouble with ryanair, all the better airlines look at them and think, how on earth do they get the crews to work so hard for so little, let's try it on our lot. When all the new pilots joining ryanair for "just a few years" try to go somewhere better, they find those airlines aren't as good as they were when their dads or uncles or whoever they once looked up to worked in them. The reason is that they worked for such poor conditions to get a foot up in the first place and enabled ryanair to be so successful.
The simple fact is, one of the reasons Ryanair does so well is because their crews work so hard in probably the worst terms and conditions in the industry.
Working in the airline industry has changed hugely for the worse since ryanair came along. It's a bit much when they all come on here complaining about their shoddy terms and conditions after they directly drag everyone else's down.
Ryanair's conditions will drive down even further, simply because they can and the pilots will do nothing but complain on the internet.
