I was sitting in an English pub last night about a mile from a Ryanair base and heard one of their pilots telling his companion that he was very satisfied with his lot. Decent rosters, 4 sector days, 5 on-5 off, home every night, no night flying, new aircraft, local base, etc. He said he didn't care 'what colour the aircraft is painted', just wanted a decent job on reasonable terms, which he had.
I was pleased to hear a senior, experienced employee being positive. After all, as we know there are plenty of people prepared to 'Knock' Ryanair.
