I can completely understand where flareflyer is coming from.
Im in the M.E aswell but I'm an FO on the 777 and although it would be quite a big paycut for me. Im hoping that Easyjet will open up to non type rated guys!
Trust me after a few years in the M.E you will understand why
And yes I have applied to BA just waiting for an interview slot, but I would also very happily take a job with Easyjet.
To be back home in Blighty even with all it's problems, will more than make up for the pay cut and loosing long haul!
