Well having checked the intranet there are 55 posts from maybe 15 people max. Hardly an overwhelming figure from the 5,000(?) employees in easyJet.
Why do I defend the indefensible - well because in my experience the back up has been there when it was needed. Should I only comment on negative things and not the positives??? They're not perfect - far from it. But the scenarios being discussed on this thread relate to my experiences of eJ management.
If staff travel is rubbish, it is rubbish regardless of what you say
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
Carry you for free? easyJet runs a commercial operation. I'm quite happy letting the management concentrate on making money. There are other more pressing concerns which BALPA should be dealing with rather than with staff travel.
I remember being down the back half of a BA 757 in Prague on a standby ticket only to find the entire rear of the cabin was full of people on standby. It's a fair assumption that BA staff travel must cost them a lot and for what? They still have some of the grumpiest and militant employees in the industry. So improving morale? Maybe for a very short period, but thats all.
