...Surely if you don't want to pay go elsewhere! ....
Quite right Seriph but it wasn't the point because that's exactly what the like minded do/will do.
I agree that no one owes anyone anything and that's why the 50 quids will be wasted for most of the applicants. It doesn't garantee you a job, let alone an interview.
....if there are no takers then obviously Mr O Leary will have to change his policies, we shall see won't we....
Pointless, I have already won and so has he simply because I won't apply, so he won't get my £££. Then again someone else (you ?) will and he will get the dosh. Fantastic!! Everyone is a winner

so don't change a thing for me, thank you very much.
We are all free to believe in one thing or another (what you refer to as principles), so keep doing what you do best and so will I.
Good luck!
