I think the reason many bang on about EZY is because when the cockpit door is closed (ie, not dealing with summer disruption), it's usually a great place to be. Everyone is generally there for a good day out. You bid for earlies/lates which you generally get. And if you get a base close to where you want to be, it's good for family life (home every night). I probably get one four sector day every two months, but we do have some quite long two sector days, especially in the summer.
Winter is very quiet. Part time options are great, not many other jobs out there that offer £75k+ for 9 days a month (with all the same roster protections).
That said, after 15 years here I am currently interviewing elsewhere. Whatever I decide to do it's quite a difficult choice as EZY has it's flaws, but overall a nice place to be.
