Playing devils advocate here:
Just out of interest, why do people think their company should pay for them to have the priviledge to park their car at the airport? I've worked in an office, and they never paid me to park in Central London - they'd go bankrupt pretty quickly. They also didn't pay for my shirt and tie I wore to the office, even though they had a defined uniform policy. So why is it so AWFUL Ryanair do it?
Also, speaking from my experience, a smaller base is always better than a larger one, it's more like a team/family. I enjoyed my time working at Leeds Bradford far better than at Manchester.
