One can easily see that the ezy pilots who do not have any authority on anything at easy, are opposed captains ultimate authority and responsibility for safe flight. Also, VS have responded in very appropriate manner, confirming that they are supporting their commanders in a difficult situation. EasyJet would NEVER support their pilots in a similar situation, on the contrary they usually sack them.
No wonder there are tens of easy pilots going to Virgin, captains as well. Good luck to them; they are going to work a proper airline who looks after their troops with staff travel, proper pension contributions etc.
