I seem to remember that they once tried to charge disabled passengers for wheelchairs, and as I read it, treat potential employees similarly. I somehow doubt whether customers are valued any more highly. I suppose that if you can't get a job elsewhere you have to try Ryanair, but what does that do for your CV?
I once met a B737 captain somewhere who used to fly as an FO for Ryanair for a few years during the 2000s (before 2007, if I remember correctly). He seemed pleased with the company's operational practices (SOP, training etc). Some time after he had left he did however hear from former colleagues (?) about some T&Cs being challenged.

Anyway, you might want to take this as hearsay formed by my memory and mental filters.
