No one seems to have mentioned the fact that (please correct me if wrong) Ryanair is THE most profitable airline on the planet. They are making a lot of money and they continue to grow. Not a bad business model to follow, if you ask me.

True, if you are major shareholder or a CEO with a nice compensation package with a golden parachute.
Pilots . . . not so much. Best data I could find was that Ryanair pilots make about 30k per year as FO's, Captains TOP OUT around 90k.
I'd much rather see another Southwest . . .great work rules, great salary, and consistent profitability. Unfortunately, the LCC of the future dosen't give a crap about employees (or passengers if they can get away with it), just CEO pay and stock price.
