Home every night.
Fixed roster pattern so you can plan things on days off months in advance.
Quite a quick route to command with decent pay once you get there.
Over 80 bases all over the continent so a lot of flexibility and choice on where you can choose to live.
Fairly wide and varied route network with quite a lot of opportunities to do short term basings in plenty of different parts of the continent.
Not every aspiring pilot wants to sit in the right hand seat for 20 years or spend multiple days per month commuting to a base or getting to spend the productive years of their lives experiencing jet lag or spend lots of time away from home just to fly a widebody Jet.
Whilst Ryanair has a lot of turnover the nature of its operation does appeal to a lot of pilots.
