Hi Max,
Nope, I don't know very well. I've worked out of every base except Dublin and the vast majority (to use your words) are quite contented campers. So, either you're formulating your views based on what you see in Dublin, for which I cannot speak, or you're allowing yourself to be adversely influenced by a few vocal malcontents who huff and puff with what they presume to be righteous indignation.
Now, as for the essence of your complaint.
such somewhat more important issues such as the viability of long term lucrative employment, commensurate with the professionalism required
Long term lucrative employment? Give me a break! Ryanair is the most profitable airline on the planet...by a long stretch, as it happens...how much more viable to you want? Commensurate with the whatnow? What is it you want, exactly, Max? Chauffeur driven to work, company funded BJ while you sign in? Perhaps reclining on an enormous cushion in the crewroom whilst being fanned by a swarthy native wielding a vast palm frond?
Wake up and smell the bananas, Max. I take the view that I am a small, though important, cog in a vast machine. I work hard, for which I am paid VERY well, and on time. Perhaps you've not known the special pleasure that comes from working for failing companies, or from having to call the boss after your pay is a week overdue. If so, you're a lucky man in one sense, but deprived in another because, quite obviously, you have no idea how lucky you are.
