Stan Woolley,
Well said. Indeed Easyjet's problems are just beginning and their contemptuous attitude and no desire to change is clear from the the recent post by the chief pilot, shattering all hopes of a 5/3 roster.
We are firmly locked in the 6/3 pattern for the forseeable future. Every excuse to carry on this way is lame and life style issue will not be addressed and we continue to be run by computers.
The reason given is that an immediate dispensation from CAA to adapt the 5/3 pattern to suit easy's style i.e work us to near death, is not possible at this time and even when eventually considered, will have to undergo a lenghty trial period. This to me is rubbish and the 5/3 pattern should not be about being able to work us to maximum duty limitswith min. rests for five consecutive days only to need the 3 days to recover (in hospital)
It is a lifestyle and respect for the profession issue.
It is the duty of every pilot to win back respectability for this profession and not be whimps as we have been so far.
We await BALPA's take on this.
Working at Easyjet has been a bed of mature roses with wild thorns.
Don't hold your breath, Easy Management (who are they anyway ? ) I only need to know which of these numerous managers I send my definite resignation, the sweet thought of which is already sending me to climax.
Very UNEASY
