'The only cost savings they can find is by alienating the staff with appalling staff travel',
With respect, why should the company even offer staff travel? If someone has joined the company expecting ID90's etc, then they probably don't get the 'Loco' concept. I've not seen many people alienated by staff travel, I can think of far more important things than that.....
'and terrible rostering'. This is not an airline wide issue. I've had the opportunity to talk to a few crews recently and found the satisfaction varies significantly from base to base. And its certainly way way better than the 'Carnage' fiasco of just a few years ago!
Easy has always operated into 'major' airports since day one, the concept worked then and it works now, if your ticket to Barcelona says Barcelona, that's where you go, Barcelona, not Reuss....
The first half loss is a perennial easyJet thing. Check back over the last few years prune postings and you'll see a pattern developing, What really matters is at the end of the summer which we all await with interest I'm sure....
