Well I can only speak from my own perspective. I joined a couple of years ago as a direct entry captain, I have been flying 25 years, have worked for several other companies and find Ryanair suits me fine.
I get well paid, home to my own bed every night and fly new aeroplanes with first class, well trained F/O's - in short I enjoy my job. As I said in the previous post it may not be the best job but having worked for other companies large and small at least I have something to compare it with and know it certainly is not the worst !
