"They pay the least they can to get the right people".

That is EVERY business is it?

No, it isn't.

It always pays to have a look at what is on offer in the market.

At least you have the good grace to remain civil, whilst admitting that the captain contract formed part of the NEC negotiations.

However, it's obviously on the table as the main target for...

Just watch and see.

You're not immune. In fact, you're very much at risk of things deteriorating.

They aren't interested.

The vast majority of easyJet captains understand that this CTC deal is iniquitous. And a bad deal for everyone, except CTC and easyJet.

Exactly, you joined 10 years ago.

It is a no brainer.

Your mate has to say no.

He could lose everything and it is all for a Flexi contract.
