Due to the route structure which used to be offered by buzz, my personal quality of life was improved substantially. Regrettably that is no longer possible at the price I used to pay; I was very happy to fly with buzz because they were a great team who flew where and when I wanted at a price I could readily afford. I am delighted that many of them will now remain in employment and wish them well with their new careers.
But I won't be meeting them again because I won't be using their service - it's back to LH for me. I wasn't aware that the title "Buzz v RyanAir at the 11th hour" referred purely to terms and conditions of future employment; if that's the spin you want to put on this thread then OK, I'll abide by your definition.
PS - and thanks to all those from buzz who have sent me such kind PMs. Hope it goes well for you all in the future!
