What's the point of debating a subject if you don't want to hear different opinions? Nuageblanc has IMHO some valid points like the way EZY is more and more becoming like Ryanair, so why ignore it? People (like myself) who write negative things are not necessarily negative about the airline, they just want to highlight the problem areas and are passionate to try and change these. Sticking your head in the sand and saying how wonderful everything is will not improve things, it will only lead to deterioration.
It's only by being a bit unreasonable that you can push the envelop. Look at all the great inventors and explorers. They were 'unreasonable,' had a vision and pushed the envelop. If they hadn't been unreasonable and just accepted the inevitable, we'd still be without electricity, computers and we'd still believe the earth was flat.
Unless we as pilots become a little bit more 'unreasonable' and assertive, the 'visionaries' on the other side of the table (Cor and Andy) will slowly but steadily push EZY in a Ryanair direction with mediocre pay deals, 'undercrewing' with 90 hrs block/month, divide and conquer local contracts and base captains that require 'brown nosing' for "accelerated commands."
