VJW,
Did you have to pay for your rating at Ryanair and at easy? That in itself is a major problem, as it perpetuates an acceptable norm.
I suppose you wouldn’t pay your rating at BA. And you’d get your Gatwick base - albeit it as an FO. But you probably know that already.
Anyhow, if you think it’s worth doing, that’s up to you. I suspect that it’s not - neither short, nor long term.
