Laughable to suggest RYR or WZZ as better options... Uproot your family to live in Eastern Europe? As nice as parts of it are, no thanks.
Ryanair are literally forcing people to move country to a new base or accept unpaid leave and will screw you any chance they get, and will never ever change.
TUI/Jet2 are both profitable business who treat their staff with respect and pay them well. TUI are suffering with the Max but with the demise of TCX both companies are poised to be THE major players in the UK holiday market over the next decade.
People fly with RYR/EZY because they have to, people fly with TUI/Jet 2 because they want to.
