Odd comment. I was offered a job at FR a few years ago. I was in debt to the tune of about £60,000, and Ryanair wanted another £18,000 (IIRC) out of me. Their kind offer was £10,000 pa plus half sector pay. So I phone the only bloke I knew at Ryanair, and he was shacked up with a load of other FO's in a tiny flat in Germany, on a salary of £0. He was waiting to complete his line training (hence no income) and was borrowing money furiously to scrape by.
I felt I had enough poverty already, and declined their offer of further. Never looked back.
