You have got that right Scottie, don't hold your breath on the command if you aren't bus rated though, cause things are slowing down. Some of the FO's already have a pay cut of around 12% and have never seen a 'loyalty' bonus even though they do the same job, so at least you don't have it as bad as some.
Wizofoz, they still haven't changed the stop date on the loyalty bonus in the t&c's on the company website. What happens if they just get rid of it because they can't 'afford' it. Does Balpa have enough members to challenge that, or will there be nothing they can do about it?
Changers to the Loyalty Bonus Scheme
From 1 October 2005 the loyalty bonus scheme will be replaced by a profit sharing scheme agreed between easyJet and BALPA. The existing loyalty bonus scheme (above) will remain in place until 30 September 2005.
ps they really should run a spell check on a commercial website
