the GVA crews operate under their own AOC and require restrictive visas and/or residency permits. ezy crews are not able to operate GVA aircraft. so that may be a non starter.
staff travel is a bit of an issue at times but if you look on it as a perk rather than a god given right to get to whereever in europe and are prepared to arrange things within 24 hours of travel then you will not be dissappointed (please dont think I am defending the present system but that is what we have at the moment). again investigate the frequency of flights to and from where you want to get to from other ezy bases. bear in mind that generally you will finish on a late before days off and start after days off on an early, so you will not be able to position home by air until the morning of your first day off and then must position back to your base on the third day off ready to operate earlies the next day.
no hats
and yes I am STN based and looking forward to the airbus.
