Press wont care
I understand that what is happening with EasyJet is not doing the industry any favours.
However the press would not be interested in this film. So some guys are paying for their opportunity to be flying. They are qualified individuals and therefore safe pilots. What EasyJet are doing is not illegal, its just not helping the industry.
What does Joe Public care if the person on the flight deck has paid their money to be there (and is qualified), than EasyJet paying it for them...
I dont agree with what EasyJet are doing however it would make no difference to the public image, people will still fly with them as they are cheap.
