Exactly... Take the hint
The Ryanair website, although a vast improvement on the original cheap nasty offering, is a good indicator of the standard to which you can expect from them. Base transfer... Server error, Summer vacation.... Server error, pay rise... Server error, treated like a human being... Server error!
Apply if you're desperate.... And VERY best of luck!
The reason THEY are recruiting DE, is because they are desperate! They are desperate, because so many have left, because of all the above reasons. This is a rare opportunity for Pilots to regain some ground, when it comes to T&C's. DON'T apply to Ryanair, they will be forced to change and up their game, which will in turn force NAS et al, to do the same. Wishful thinking maybe, but worth a try at least!
Just to add, this is all just my humble opinion etc.
