Good question. You may be forgiven for thinking that terms and conditions in Ryanair are terrible from reading fora like this - and you'd have a point if you were talking about certain elements of the pilot population, eg: if you're a low time F/O with no type rating, be in no doubt it's gonna hurt.

However, if you're an experienced Captain for example, you would struggle to find better terms and conditions that FR and EZ - Captains I met from FR who decided they had enough and were getting OUT started ringing around and then wound their necks in quickly when they heard what other airlines were paying, roster patterns, etc. The pilots may not like the management, no union allowed, fatigue factors, etc, or fancy a different lifestyle like longhaul, but that's a different issue than Pounds, Shillings, Pence, and roster patterns. So, the answer is separate the 2 things and decide which is more important to you.
