EasyJet do not do red eye trips, they do not have 3 man operations crossing ITCZs in LH aircraft with the most senior pilot being allowed to rest for up to 4 hours. This is a totally different kind of flying and the EasyJet machine would break at the first sight of having to afford crew a decent schedule involving night stops.
To make a career sustainable at EasyJet pilots are turning to 50%. "Nuff said"
So what? Show me an easyJet pilot who has pulled back on the sidestick for nearly 4 minutes during a high altitude stall? Flight 447.
Show me an easyJet pilot who landed half way down the runway in wet and windy wxr conditions and took 12 seconds to apply reverse thrust? Flight 358.
In fact, AF have their very own page on Wikipedia for accidents and incidents. That's how many they have had! Most are due to pilot error.
easyJet don't even have an accidents and incidents section on Wikipedia.
