If they were serious about recruitment and their employees, then they would offer proper contracts and recruitment, just like Monarch, Virgin, BA.
Is that the same Monarch that nearly went under a couple of years ago / the same Virgin that lost £80m last year / the same BA that's part of IAG that lost nearly £1bn last year?
Easyjet don't pay a penny more for pilots, or anything else for that matter, than they absolutely have to. It's called supply and demand and the management are ALL over it.
