It would appear that easy still do not engage with the pilots in a professional manner. Having been there when there were only 8 aircraft there was always a big disconnect between the pilots and orange culture. Essentially the prevailing mentality was that the pilots were overpaid prima donnas. Plus ca change. The orange culture by the way seemed to reward 'managers' with tax free share schemes etc while shafting the pilot group. Most of the pilot group had the inate intelligence to see through the orange concept. Essentially just like Ryanair while pretending to be slightly more touchy- feely.
