You started training in the midst of the worst recession for 70 years to become an airline pilot.

Every reasonably well informed person knew there was excess supply of qualified pilots around , XL etc went bust, many others had redundancies. You, however, ploughed on and risked over 100k to fulfil your dream. You weren't on a tagged scheme.

At the end, you got offered a RHS with EZY, and you paid for a TR. How much more would you have been prepared to pay out of interest? You had a contract that was worth next to nothing, as it s now proven.

Did it ever occur to you why EZY selected yourselves from OAA ? Was it the massive shortage of fatpls out there? Was it that the people from your school were all fantastic, as you d had to pass such rigorous tests just to get on the course? Was it that you had access to more cash than sense? Or was it that you could be much more flexible and cheap labour.

You jumped a massive queue of FIs, Flybe guys, unemployed and highly experienced jet pilots and now are complaining. These people are also mightily annoyed with the likes of yourself and you now fail to realise that You only have yourself to blame.
