Slavery.
I’m pushing 40 with a 2 year old and a newborn coming. Started mid/late 20’s. Slavery isn’t the word for what I do. I turned down BA long haul last year who offered me a contract with half the salary easyjet’s contract had written on it. One of the two valued my experience properly and paid me accordingly. I don’t regret it for a single moment, and I wouldn’t even go to BA if they opened up DEC.

If I genuinely feel fatigued I’d call up and let them know. The fallout of this would be nothing negative towards me but in the year I’ve been here I’ve not had to use this facility.

If you’ve been looking at an EJ roster compared to your own BA LH one then yes we work more days than you. Go compare ours to a BA SH one and come back to me.

I think some people are a little too precious.
