Before I left Ezy, they were trying to implement 5 earlies etc. What a load of ...p! I personally find earlies extremely tiring and they completely ruin your social life. That is if you have the time and the energy to have one.
As for Balpa at Ezy, they are no way strong enough to be bullish with the company and never will be. I am at BY now or should I say T-fly. Balpa is huge in the company and they never mess us around! Block windows in place,loads of leave and I have only had three roster changes in a year and a half. Fine, you get a SSH which is five hours but you get two associated rest days.
Since leaving Ezy I now realise that there is a lot more than life than being knackered and flying an orange. The company will keep on chipping until there is nothing left to chip away at. When I was there, they wanted to get rid of crew food, loyalty bonuses and reduce our holidays. I was fed up with the company. I was a number as opposed to a person. Since leaving, I can safely say that it is a breath of fresh air to fly for an airline that cares for it's pilots.
I made the right choice! I am out!
