EGCC,
However noble, I fear you are missing the point.
1. EZY are happy with a cost effective 'turn key' pilotage solution.
2. The Punters are happy with heavily subsidised flights to the Costa's for a cheap summer junket.
3. 'Ruperts' chuffed because he's in 2 'gold bars' and down 'Bar Med' on a Tuesday night.
4. 'Ruperts' Mum's chuffed because she can 'blow off' to her mates at the Cheltenham Bridge Club. Ruperts a pilot for EZY!
You are absolutely right in everything you say; but we cannot stop the rot. Impossible.
