HotAir:
You said, "Two years ago eJ only had 200 pilots now they have 700 so about 500 are bonded therefore many of the pilots simply cannot leave."
Wrong.
A large number of these "new" pilots are in fact ex-GO staff and are therefore not bonded.
Only those joining the company without the relevant type rating are bonded.
The vast majority of easyJet pilots are quite free to leave, should they wish. Including those with a bond still outstanding.
It is, after all, still a free country.
