I work for GB but always fly Easyjet if I can help it out of LGW. Why?
1: EZY concessions are half the price of BA
2: EZY are reserved seats not pikey standby "ooh I don't know if you can get on as you're not my best mate from BA longhaul" BA tickets
3: For the £31 I save I can afford (I feel) a coffee and bun if I really want to eat something. Or just sleep.
4: Online check-in: depending where they board in lgw, you normally find they don't actually respect the boarding letters so even with a D if you're early at the gate you get on first
5: even if you can't beat the bun fight to get on first, for the length of their flights does it really matter?
6: EZY crew are as professional as GB charter, I find the ones who slag EZY off the most are the ones who have hardly ever flown them
7: More importantly - EZY in my weekly experience of flying with them has never been as delayed as my daily working reality of never leaving or arriving on time.
If you are desperate to be the first one there, try the nighttime check-in - opens at 8pm and you will get an A pass then. As for why fly EZY to RAK rather than GB charter, how about price, and SCHEDULE... avoiding a dodgy stop in Casablanca and saving time....?
