I reckon everyone has a fair point.
I do think EZ will suffer long term though:-
Despite what people think there are not loads of ATPL pilots knocking around and when the market does pick up alot of the LCC pilots will clear off if conditions are still not desriable for them.
What will companies like EZ do?? Lower their standards? Accept lower hours? Who knows. But I hear Prob 30 saying "No problem I will work for them" Yet BMI might be looking too and offer better conditions so Prob 30 goes there...
What will most likely occur is a change in working conditions with a change in the amrket though.
EZ must have terrible management. I manage people and I cant believe they are so disorganised. I am not even thinking about EZ as an employer at the moment for all sorts of reasons. The main one is they wont employ me anyway. Oh well!! Off to Africa I go.
