Well, rumour has it that 14 have signed this stinking contract and many turned it down.
CTC and EZY have collectively sunk to a new low in forcing living standards back to the Victorian work house era. But no body forced anybody's hands in signing up to this crap.
It's a little known secret; EZY are kind of desperate for crew next Spring. That's right, they're going to be short, and it wouldn't have taken much collective will amongst the CTC hold pool just to all say no to this - a better deal would have been quite swiftly on the table.
Yes, we all get to the stage where getting that elusive first step on the ladder seems to be all that matters in life - I was there 25 years ago and probably would have sold my grandmother for the break.
But I wouldn't have knowingly dumped on every F/O to ever come to the Easyjet ranks behind me.
I'm prepared to stand by the next man in fighting this deal and turning it around from within, I think it merits a fight on pure safety grounds alone.

But sympathy? Hmmmmm.......
