Eastern in the UK are quite a good little oufit. I think they will be fun to work for, but...I don't think that there are great prospects with them (no longhaul.) They fly basically based around IOM. Having previously worked for Manx and now for BA Connect, I think that IOM is a nice airport to work in with less stress and is much more personal than other bigger bases. Having said that, if I were you and you are new to CC, you will be better off (looked after) with Eastern than with Ryanair or EasyJet. I'd apply to Eastern and then maybe apply to BA maybe 3-4 years down the line. Another airline to look at it EuroManx, but they have shrunk lately and don't know if they will survive. Eastern on the other hand, seem to be doing well. Hope this helps.

Just to clarify though, they do have bases other than IOM, but they seem to have a lot of flights to IOM. Good luck!
