We don't fly around on a thimble of fuel.
Neither do easyJet pilots
We don't have fatigue inducing or unstable rosters.
Surely a matter of opinion - everyone's different.
We have more days off.
Do you? Are you sure? I'm at work on 190 days per year on a full-time contract. That's 175 days off including leave.
We rarely have any defects on an aircraft at all, deferred or otherwise.
Neither does easyJet. The new CFM engined 319/320s which I fly are the most reliable aircraft I have flown in 40 years in the cockpit.
The training is of a similar standard but there is more of it.
You do more than two two-day simulator checks, a line check and an SEP day per year do you? That's more than BA as well.
Commanders are not selected for their sycophancy or company politics.
Neither are they at easyJet.
Just my tuppence.
