At this point we don't have the luxury to deny or choose a a pilot job. So long as you fly and get paid enough to live decently is a fortune if one can achieve it. Self funded type rating or even worse p2f is a trend that started long before covid and unfortunately is not going to stop any time soon. It's a fact that we can't avoid. I don't think that any airline in the near future will pay to train its cadets.
But what Ryanair is doing is another thing. Apart from the fact that they charge the applicant with an exorbitant amount of money for the type rating they do not guarantee a job thereafter.
