Best hope would be a new French base opening, although it's not the most tax/fees friendly location, which Ryanair are quick to react to in terms of deployment of based aircraft. I assume you're not rated, so your leverage to push for the base you want is limited, and even if you are, direct entries rarely, if ever, get into a base with a long waiting list.
That said, I enjoy going to work each day, the difference mainly being fabulous crews and all staff, who are fun, and natural team players. It's a company blissfully devoid of disingenuous company BS, crocodile smiles, and whinging. Everyone just calls a spade a spade, and just gets on with the job at hand.

What a load of BS, I've read some ****e in my time and this is right up at the top. What you meant to say was cabin crew who hardly speak to the flight deck and some flight deck first officers who are so busy on their phones they cant verbally communicate, So damn busy on their phones they still do it on line checks!! and fail.
