I’m with the orange lot, been there 16 years there must be a reason, oh yes I’m home with the family everyday, despite popular belief I can count on one hand how many 4 sector days I’ve done in the past 6 months and I’ve not know anyone leave here to go to TUi. I bid for what I want and generally get it. Yes we have a new bloke from Ryanair who used this crisis to try and force a Ryanair contract on us and the entire workforce including base management united and said no. I’m sure he will try again but after his efforts I cannot see how he can maintain his position.
Now the main point is it doesn’t matter what airline you work for. The best ones are the ones who pay you a competitive package, give you the base you want, be financially secure and give you the lifestyle that works best for you. Everyone is different. I have no interest in long haul, or flying back from Turkey touching down at my base at 6am, but that’s me and everyone is different.
Right now fingers crossed we all pull through together.
