Well FlyingIrishman,
I must say I can only agree with you. Ryanair seems to be a really good company for the UK standards I am used to. Long term is the company to be in (with easyJet). It is just a shame I cannot afford it right now.
Nonetheless, the Spanish companies (except a couple) offer a better package for their pilots. I do not know for how long. But, while it lasts is going to be difficult to get those pilots on your side.
Luckily for Ryanair, there are so many unemployed pilots in Spain that it should not be too difficult to find some. Unexperienced most of them yet, still pilots.
