Guys, those airport fees are bullsh1t. Easyjet is just closing MAD base but will continue to fly to MAD as well as to many other spanish airports. Easyjet is just closing down the MAD crew base in order to destroy forever the very well-paid spanish contracts, that IS the main idea.
310 staff member will go to the UK with a much much worse salary.
No doubt easyJet will send people to MAD in nightstop like in NCE , FCO or TLS, a crappy airport hotel and a 2 stripes FO and young captain both in flexicrew contract will definitely save a lot of cash.
