Thunderbirdsix,
either you are from management
, either you don't know what you are talking about.
There is not much you can give credit at Ryanair. If your friend is happy in Ryanair, it is probably because she hasn't been there for a long time: harassing the passengers 20 times a week selling all their crap is nothing funny. About all the jobs created, none of them provide security nor social benefit. All the staff are treated like s**t. All these jobs were stolen to other airlines that couldn't compete with a management cheating and lying and bullying their people.
Ryanair is a social disaster to the society and to individuals.
Apply this model to the rest of the economy and you will see how life will be enjoyable. Exploit people, abuse them to get a bit more money.
