Indeed, the more I read the comments here and the more I think about it all, it's going to come down to personal choice. Horses for courses. Giving up 5/4/5/3 and most nights at home would certainly be hard though!
Staff travel is a big part of it for me. I have close relatives in many parts of the world and besides the fact that it's limited to Europe (mostly), EZY staff travel is rubbish.
Thanks for all the feedback so far. Would be nice to hear from ex-EZYs at BA
