your comment is utter twaddle Camel Hair.
The 3 monkeys, I rest my case.

the uncomfortable feeling that the low fares I'm enjoying are being paid for by Ryanair's employees.
This is sadly correct. And the cc money is that low. When you see the girls walking to the airport at 0400, rain or shine, as they can't afford a taxi, you might not feel so good about your low fares. Although, according to Slim Shady, they are very happy with their lot...
So remember that the next time you take a flight, your crew have probably walked some miles to the airport, after spending the night in a room shared with 2 or 3 others and won't have eaten or rested during the duty, regardless of length. Not to speak of the cc that faint from time to time due to not being to afford to eat for some days. Far fetched? Sounds it. Truth? Yep, I've seen it happen, more than once.
And don't forget the pilots who sleep in their cars cos they can't afford a hotel or b&b. Safe? You tell me. Happy with their lot? What do you think?
