Ryanair pilots' nationalities?

Hi folks, I wonder what your impression is as for where FR primarily take their pilots from. I've encountered quite a few Belgians but also a lot of Italians, but maybe that's just my wrong impressions, I don't fly for FR as I bailed out when I received a 2000 euro monthly base contract offer (Typerated FO, 2300 ToH, 250 hours on 737)

What countries do the people who accept such wages come from?

I got a job at a medium-sized European international airport as a baggage handler. Base salary of 3300 euro per month, with extras I usually make just over 4000 EUR per month. Funny to think that I make more than many of the pilots of the A/C I load. I am also working on getting a load control certificate, which would give me a promotion and most likely between 500 and 1000 EUR extra per month.
