Same here. Blueyellow may be not perfect (see points above), but it is often greatly exaggerated how ‚bad‘ it is to work for them. Roster‘s good, no (planned) night flying, mostly nice crews, planes maintained well, salaries ok (at least if you compare them to Lauda, Volotea etc)
Regarding fuel: An Ex Air Berlin Captain said once to me that he‘s taking more fuel now, than he used to do with AB. Never had any problem with that, as long as you‘ve got a reason for it. Don‘t take 5t extra just for fun...but I guess no airline would be too happy about that.
And there are plenty of guys coming from other airlines: As I said, Air Berlin, Germania, Emirates - i‘ve even flown with a former LOT Pilot.
