I have both met pilots who have worked for both EZY and RYR and also read their comments here on pprune from time to time.
It strikes me that one of the sources of misunderstanding / differences in opinions about the two companies is that while there is one EZY, there are many RYR's. You could meet three RYR pilots in the morning and discover truthfull accounts of their pay, conditions and experiences that differ radically. That's because RYR conditions and pay DO differ considerably.
However, anybody in RYR who is ACTUALLY doing as well overall as pilots in EZY (which is different from thinking it) is very definitely in a minority - certainly as regards pay. As for the famous 5-4, let's wait and see how it looks when the various sub-clauses are invoked and the leave situation clarifies itself.
