Will everyone get over it. The company set a cost index. We fly it. If asked by ATC we will increase. If its obvious we are going to screw company traffic up, we will increase. Otherwise its EZY's train set and we fly the aircraft how they tell us. We don't do it to screw everyone else up!
Its a sign of the times, if you don't like it leave your airline and go fast jet instead! Thats if they don't go bust first.......
