fade to grey - if you have a problem about my 'continued bleating on about salaries', I suggest you read somewhere other than the 'Terms and Endearment' section of PPRuNe. Strangely enough, a lot of the people reading there are quite interested in that sort of thing.
Also, however difficult the situation may be at East Midlands, your analysis is somewhat inaccurate. Not a single person there will have to go to a job club if they do not want to as they will be offered alternative employment. And if they are currently fortunate enough to earn in excess of £100k (as a number of easyJet captains are), they will still be doing so at their new base. I know you find discussions about salaries unsavoury, but if you feel the need to make remarks on the subject, it is always good to check the facts first.
