Actually I think Highwaves has a point

'It seems to me that all of you who are complaining that you have to"work" too hard, knew the conditions at easyJ very well when y
ou signed your contract. So complaining afterwards that you have to work too hard seems a bit childish and unfair.( compareble to those persons who buy cheap land near an airport and afterwards try to close down the airport because airplanes are too noisy).'

Unfortunately this is not really what this thread is about. It's not to do with the people who have accepted these jobs, rather that people are flying under these conditions which may possibly be unsafe.

Sure 'if you can't handle the heat, get out', but these places would only be filled with other people who would also suffer from fatigue.

The fact is that it is not an ideal situation and no matter what anyone says, fatigue greatly increases the chance of an accident.

It really is up to the workforce to band together and try and sort this one out.
