Airbrake,
Your little swipe at SimpleLife was a bit unnecessary, no one has criticized your move to stay at easy rather than move to BA as it was very carefully though about.
You seem the need to justify yourself on a financial basis, I like SimpleLife left easy in search of lifestyle, no amount of money would have made me stay and trust me when I speak of easy with my colleagues now it is always in good, the only thing that was negative was the lifestyle and the longterm effect it would have on my flying career.
All the best.
