And it does full circle again. I think it is up to EZY to decide whether DEC are needed or not. They are best placed to decide on the state of readiness of their SFO's and their short/medium term resourcing needs, not the pilots themselves. Protectionism is fine but has to be recognised for what it is. The reality is probably that only a handful of MON captains will actually move and this is hardly going to hurt those in the queue. Every other industry in existence hires from outside when required (it is a very healthy thing to do from a corporate perspective) and if the pitch to prospective employees was " stuff your experience you go to the bottom of the pile" there would never actually be any cross company movement. If EZY need pilots, they recruit. If they don't they won't.
