FYI - Ryanair is now hiring pilots with ICAO/FAA licenses. Still require EU/EEA passport. But an ICAO license that can be validated by the Irish CAA is acceptable.
Not a bad deal in reality. 5 days on/4 days off roster, no planned layovers. If you can find a way to get EU/EEA citizenship (check your ancestry, particularly if you are Irish, German or Italian), it is actually not a bad job.
