While having little insight into the T&C at Whizz or Aegean one can guess that the deal it likely to be less favorable than EZY and having the same equipment your comparison is valid, Norwegian is another matter, very few of the EZY pilots are likely to have flown the B737 in the last few years and so jumping ship into a company that by circumstances of the huge training burden of a rapid expansion is unlikely.

The fact of the matter is that when it is time for Norwegian to introduce the A320 I have no doubts that Norwegian will have the the deal in place to attract pilots from other airlines and only then can we make a valid comparison between the T&C's at Norwegian and EZY when pilots vote with their feet ( or don't).

The airline market is changing, EZY were the quality end of the LoCo market with RYR firmly holding the rock bottom of the market, things are changing with RYR realizing that they need to treat the customers better to attract the people who are willing to spend a little more, the problem for EZY is that RYR are aiming to squeez the bottom end of the EZY customer base and Norwegian are squeezing the top end with a superior product at a comparable price.........interesting times ahead !
