Caulfield no wonder you didn't stick it at Ryanair - with an attitude like that they did a very good job weeding you out very quickly. I would disagree that 90% of Ryanair are SOBs as you put it so nicely - one thing the airline has got going for it is that 90%+ are actually excellent people to work with, and that's including the chief pilot who is a true gent.
I don't dispute that there are crewing issues like you've described but in my experience that was only a very odd occasion. As far as the Dutch and Belgian FO's are concerned, yes there are a few bad eggs, but that has nothing to do with nationality. Cabin crew work extremely hard and I suppose you see yourself far superior to "godawful Limerick and Essex backwaters". All I can say to you is good riddance!! And to use your words again, I could go on but what's the point anyway...
