I would have to disagree with you there. 737 rating at the moment is not a good rating, with Airbus rating being worth the gold and the prospects for 737 guys aren't good. Market is flooded with 737 pilots with all looking for a job and clearly any 737 jobs out there will be given to preferably rated pilots.
Dash rating is very strong rating too, the short haul business is booming, time to command is quick and the job is rewarding.
Also bear in mind that money is not that different in comparison to RYR. The new guys in RYR are on the lowest possible salary to fly a jet aircraft, and as longest they are accepting those conditions, the salary and T&C will decline even further. As its the case with Buzz.
