Flying multi sector in bad weather and visual approaches into Greek isles is one thing, a good learning attitude is another.
Some, but not all of the younger generation expect to be spoon fed. This shows in their training performance. Most of the Ryanair guys I have flown with are good operators and tend to integrate well in EK. On the flip side, I have also flown with some who spend more time trying to get laid than concentrate on the job at hand.
