The 3 biggest problems with EZY rosters:
1) The total lack of EZY management to invest in it´s "number one asset" (it´s employees) while at the same time,
2) The British conservative mentality of having ´fixed paterns.´ For some reason people want to be able to know if they will be off on 17 February 2016... They call that "stability" but in a poorly run company like EZY the results are: anything BUT stability (roster changes) and being too knackered to do anything significant on those desperately needed off days.
The solution: investing in software that allows people to build their own schedules. This software (do a google search with "preferential bidding system") is readily
available, but it means that both pilots and management have to chang their conservative mentality which is problem number three:
3) A lack of willingness in the UK to inovate and change. People don´t fix things until it´s too late and it has fallen apart.
Every year the original EZY spirit and philosophy falls apart a little bit more, while nobody dares to take responsibility for making drastic improvements. Just a ´quick fix´ and move the same problem forward another couple of months...
