Look...their airline, their toys, their rubber rules.
Its not the DECs fault. Blame the 3 years rule and whoever made it. When I grow up I want to be a DEC too. We all do. Most guys are not going to stay here for a full career, because we dont have a pension.
So when YOU have been here for 10-12 years, which job are YOU going to apply for? EasyJet FO or a 16000 USD DEC job? Be honest...
The commands are coming around 3 years - plus minus a couple of months - so its strictly theoretical.
