It is still the position that RyanAir are stepping up recruitment DEC. Massive push. They aren't interested in FO as they have no training staff available. No upgrades being initiated no matter what their denial position they take. They are failing to attract TRE, TRI and appear to believe that the terms they are proffering aren't the issue. Crazy, but that Michael at times.
I see competition taking a different stance with training and are at least retaining their staff.
