Friends of mine who joined Ryanair in the early days seem to enjoy working there, but they are, as I understand it, on old contracts which pay well.
I'm the first to have a go at the pay to fly brigade. They are truly the lowest of the low and command my utter disrespect.
Above them, granted, there is a creeping malaise of erosion of terms and conditions, let alone pay.
Here, though, my significant gripe is with the management, who have raped cost out of the business until there is not even the faintest whiff of quality past.
Given what I've heard recently about certain share transactions, the future may be quite interesting... Has the backside fallen out of the business model? Is the whole thing, effectively, a shadow of some giant Ponzi scheme of aircraft dealing? We shall wait and see.
