Whatever the union (BALPA) might have said or 'threatened' prior to the vote it would not be worse after the event. Had the vote failed the conditions would simply stay the same as they were prior to the vote. Were you threatened, Agaricus?
The pilots themsleves came up with the idea of the 5/2/5/4. The loss of leave was the price paid by the pilots to offset the fewer working days per year.
Why 2-3 months of chaos per year after the acceptance of the deal? Surely we only go through the changeover once?
Why some of you, perhaps within ezy as well as outside, are ready to sling hooks and arrows at the company when you appear to know little or nothing of the conditions within the company, is beyond me. If it was as bad as you seem to think pilots would be leaving in droves instead of easyJet being first on the list for many pilots seeking a job.
