Despite the fact I will shortly be leaving easyJet, I agree that it is a good company to work for in many ways, but it definitely suits a certain kind of person.

You will find many pilots in the company that say they can "not work like this for the long term" or "this is not a career airline". Indeed, last year the company conducted an anonymous survey of employee morale. One statistic to come out of it was that a high % of pilots would prefer to work for another airline. Management has since tried to appease the pilots, and has had some success. But still, food for thought.

The trap for some has been the early command and the pay rise that comes with it. Despite this, a reasonable number of captains have moved on to other airlines and jumped back into the RHS in doing so. It is worth contemplating why they feel the need to do this.

I feel it is best to see both sides of the coin before joining any company, and I hope this post offers some insight. It is not designed as a stab at easy. I enjoyed my time there very much, but like many didn't see it as sustainable for the long run.
