I personally would not touch Ryanair with a bargepole. However it's horses for courses and the time to join them was a few years ago when you had your rating paid for by the company and despite the basic salary being very low the flight pay was very good and that really bumped up your salary.
If you want to fly for them then you need deep pockets because the the near future more money will be going out that there is coming in on your pay slip!
