If Easyjet pilots consider themselves to be the only ones suffering:
Lots of airport standby
Hard work
Changing terms and conditions
Being disregarded
No life
Shambolic rosters
KY jelly overheads
Then either they have'nt worked for any other airlines of the same type and size, or said airlines simply have'nt caught up/caught on yet.
The entire industry in this sector will be a nightmare to work for soon, so you may as well dig in with the ones that will survive; That'll be the only career choice decider very soon.
