This is the main point. Easy Jet is going against what TIMATIC rules provide for. The Dutch Immigration clearly lists TMOV or Transit Without Visa is valid as long as the stay is less than 24 hours, the passenger does not leave the Transit part of the airport terminal and a valid onward destination ticket is in their possession. Transit is a very routine status for travel. I understand now after the fact Easy Jet does not allow this status but KLM, British Airways and most carriers do allow it from London to AMS. It is as if Easy Jet is trying to lose business here. My whole point of contention is I was traveling on a round trip Easy Jet ticket and I feel Easy Jet had a responsibility to inform me while I was in transit in AMS on my first leg of my journey. I traveled to AMS no problem as I had an onward ticket in hand. Was it prudent or reasonable of Easy Jet to not inform me of this policy on Leg 1. If anybody has any small claims experience I would appreciate it.
