I find this thread hilarious.
You guys are comparing BA with EZY.
I've spent 20 years flying for BMI and EZY and have never met a BA FO who has come from BA to either of the other company's.
I must have flown with 100's if not 1,000's of FO's who have gone the other way.
There is no comparison.
I HAVE met Captains who have come from BA to EZY (on the fingers of one hand) - every single one retired at 55 from BA and can't quit and live the good life on 2/3 BA Captain pension.
I only post to put some balance to - as I say - a ridiculous debate.
In case anyone is wondering - I am convinced beyond doubt all operators mentioned are wonderful employers, look after their staff and are worthy sources of employment for any pilot.
P.S. Very funny thread.
