It is nonsensical to even bring into play what these new entrants MAY earn in 4,5 or 6 years time.
Far to much can, or could, happen in the intervening period.....including a new captain contract that easyJet could very likely choose to introduce.
It's up to individuals. If you can accept a FLEXI contract, then that is up to the individual.
I'm more disappointed that a company (that once again UPGRADED its profit forecast yesterday), doesn't see fit to employ ALL it's pilots on full time contracts from day one.
End of story as far as I'm concerned.
