I agree with no sig that easyJet would probably not be here today had it not been for RDW's stewardship. He has been instrumental in building a very successful company. To quote no sig, "credit where credit's due...."

HOWEVER (before you all shoot me!!), whilst I believed the first 7 years or so were generally very positive, I have serious doubts about some of the decisions taken in the past couple of years. The constant re-structures, the loss of support in key areas, etc. I really believe that much of the current structure simply is not sustainable in the long-term, particularly for a fleet of 100+ with multiple bases across an expanding Europe.

I also agree that morale and that great orange value of "people" has been forgotten along the way.

As a relatively young, exciting start-up carrier people didn't mind working their nuts off because it was a good place to work. That has (to a large extent) gone now, and you can't rely on goodwill forever.
