You cant compare staff costs like your attempting to there....
For a start, a sizeable proportion of EIs operation is based on A330s flying to the states.... have you tried operating an A330 with the same amount of crew/engineers/pilots/baggage loaders etc that you would a 737-800????
Ryanair are contracting a huge amount of work out.. the majority of FR pilots are contractors... Ryanair use a contract agency for cabin crew also...

Are You getting the same level of service on a Ryanair flight as You are an Aerlingus flight? No airport check in now? what happens if your printer at home is outta ink??

Do Ryanair flying into major airports?? Do you think that engineering support and ground support cost the same at some half assed airport 80 miles from a city as it does in Heathrow/DeGaule/Schipol/JFK/SFO/ORD/ etc etc..

Compare like with like lads,
