"Isn't that a contradiction in terms; how can you disappear from Ezy to go and sit in the LHS at BA for another 15yrs ? "
I presume you mean RHS and the reasoning is simple. The only thing keeping many SFO's at Easyjet was the potential for a quick command. As that has now gone then so will they. BA RHS is not far off Easy Captain money. Long haul may not be what it used to be but the lifestyle is still preferable to a great many than being stuck in a manky 73 or bus doing 105hrs a month. Most Easyjet commands in future will be in non-uk bases too meaning a commute as well.
