A bit offtopic: just in the Netherlands there are 1100 pilots fresh from school without a job and a debt of 150k to 200k euro.
And I guarantee you that, even after watching this program on TV, every single one of them would take a job with RYR if offered one in the morning.
The problem for those is: after school they first need to do a type rating at Ryanair. That will costs them another 45K euro.

This will not guarantee a job at Ryanair. And IF you get a job, you will be paid for each hour flown. No pay for standby hours. You could easily be based at an airport far away etc etc. And in winter even less flying hours.

I am not so sure that all will accept a TR at FR and get more debts.
