easyjet failing to control costs
Once more I sit in the crew hotel at Luton looking at all the night stopping crew at our main hub. How much is the farcical rostering at easy costing the airline? Are the shareholders aware of the waste that is going on despite all the management blatherings about how we must control costs. POPPYCOCK. The AGM will be a very interesting meeting if questions are raised about how the rostering team in this airline are costing MILLIONS.
Some examples,
LTN crews being nightstopped away from LTN for up to a week at a time as too high on hours to operate rosters at LTN and therefore crews from other bases nightstopping LTN to operate all the holes created. Cannot imagine Ryanair doing this.
A taxi bill that runs to hundreds of thousands positioning crew to bases for single trips or more because the Crew Resource Planning Group cannot do thier job properly
A training bill that is costing millions as crews vote with their feet after consistently feeling undervalued
Why have easy signed up for this 100 million, yes 100 million pilot training contract in New Zealand? Why not improve conditions and attract people? Quite frankly the cadets are below standard and a lot were chopped. Then they were subsequently brought back. More costs for training
The waste in this company is staggering but I believe it is hidden from the senior management. Passenger figures are released this week. That should have a direct correlation to profit but then again so do costs. Surely somebody is asking the questions about why we have all these costs but similar costs do not appear in Ryans books.
