Don't forget that EZY have picked up the ex-GB route!
They've been flying LGW to Malta ever since the takeover, up to twice a day.
This is true and I like easy on short sectors, its a good company, with a good product.
But on the 3 hour haul to/from London, I need extra space to work, thus business class in a full service airline is required.
I estimate I did about 100 hours (12.5 working days) work on aircraft last year and that increases the time I can bill and this more than covers the extra costs.
