Well cant say that I am surprised either, for far too long they have ignored the cries of some of their most loyal employees, well even those employees are now leaving.
I think that EZY management have been very narrow mindedover the years, they have always been bailed out in previous times by various airlines becoming bankrupt (Sabena, Swissair, Aero Llyod, etc) but this time I fear they have bitten way more than they can chew.
Good luck guys, the whole aviation industry needs this battle to be won by the pilots to bring things back to a decent career.
