I can't believe everyone is arguing over how many people are in Balpa at Easyjet etc. From my experience, easyjet employs a lot of pilots from foreign countries in order to keep Balpa membership as low as possible within the airline. As suggested if Balpa were to offer free membership to non-members for a year, Easyjet would have to listen to Balpa. My advice is that there are a lot better jobs out there. You have good time off and get paid well. I left Easy and I can safely say that it was the best career move I have ever done. Easy will not change. Get out and have a life!
