The point is immaterial B&B - permanent contracts are not being offered, and so EZY will lose as a result.
There have been hundreds offered to anyone willing to go to mainland Europe - you're either not in Easy and believing the crap on pprune or you're just being dishonest. As a fact, 100% of the people I know that are going to Monarch snubbed a mainland European contract with easyJet because they wanted to be INSTANTLY gratified in terms of being in the UK and are inflexible. Believe me, many have made the concious decision and irrational gamble to stay on flexicrew. It's been their choice.
