When you casually bracket together EZY/Ryan I object.
One is a UK PLC with a well respected Board listed on the LSE which recognises BALPA and works under the aegis of UK employment law and offers a (soon to be improved under current negotiation we hope) 5 on 3 off 5 on 4 off roster. Industrial tribunals and court cases don't happen plus the CEO and the Flight Ops Director were in my crewroom within the last month wanting to explain the business plan, to listen to crews opinions and gripes and were seen taking notes.
The other is Ryanair.
