I object to being called a loonie!
The Ryanair pilot body is made up out of several different background.
New joiners are either unwillingly ignorant such as the new cadets who have no connections inside the industry and thus only know it from the outside.
Or they are desperate. Such as the hundreds of pilots coming from companies that went bankrupt and find themselves in an impossible position. Show me a man who will refuse to take a job purely on principal when he has a wife and kids at home.
Once in Ryanair you will find the pilot body consists of several groups as well.
1. Those nearing retirement and who can't be bothered to move any more.
2. Those blinded by the promise of a base transfer back home or a quick command.
3. Those too new to the industry to understand what is going on.
4. Those who complain all the time but will never leave.
5. Those who listened carefully to their peers and slowly have come to the realization they need to find a place to start an actual career.
Only the last group will leave.
