A friend who went to the a recent EZY presentation at OAA said this was very similar to what was said by the guy there.. he was only an FO and I have no idea how long he'd been there/ how much he really knows.
I was on that presentation too where indeed John Greene, a senior FO, said Easyjet wasn't happy with the CTC management and that the contract will be renegotiated in the middle of this year and would very likely go to OAA instead. Of course I don't know either how credible he was -- in fact, the OAA representative seemed quite amazed himself.
