Really? My straw poll was - very few. I'm guessing the pilots would need to be able to fly both the EI and G reg planes?
Due to a weak pound and first round BALPA/pilot capitulation at a very poor pay deal, the British pilots are very cheap for Ryanair, so the demand will certainly be there; the supply - not so much (particularly, type rated). Judging by the rate of ex uk Ryanair drivers showing up, the boot is on the other foot, the prospect of brutal UK taxes (already a 62% marginal tax rate for captains) providing an extra push away.
