What’s it got to do with the regulators?
Ryanair offer a salary. Pilot with zero hours and desperate for a job looks at advertised salary and decides it is acceptable, so accepts the job.
The reason McDonald’s pay minimum wage is the same, people are happy to accept it. If they weren’t they wouldn’t. It really is that simple.
Equally, if people didn’t pay for licenses, you would be paid a salary to attend your fully expensed training courses. But people are happy to pay. So it doesn’t happen.
