Depends? If you are of such financial freedom, then it certainly becomes your choice.
I work for one of the low cost carriers in the US and while it is not UAL, which btw is in chapter 11, it truly is a great job. Bunch of god people and good money.
Ryanair will never be SAS and there are some good in that. An honest day of work for an honest day of pay seems to fit the bill at Ryanair.
Before I get flamed by the people working for the National carriers, I will put on my flameretardant suit!
