I know people want to come back but surely RYR would be better.

In the last year I know of 18 pilots who have moved from Jet2 to RYR and that's just at 1 base I know of.
But Ryanair want guys to pay for the 737 rating and won't commit to your base of choice on the contract.

You won't get many experienced guys who: (1) are prepared to pay for a 737 rating and (2) prepared to go any base other than North UK / Scotland or wherever is home.

Sure - it's significantly less pay - but as long as it's enough to get by, then taking the family to your home base is too good an opportunity to turn down for many.
