The Times ran an interesting piece today on work and stress, and funnily enough it bore an uncanny likeness to life as a line pilot at notsoEzy.
Of the 5 items guaranteed to drive you to an early grave, only 3 boxes need be ticked. As usual easyJet strives to meet the highest standards and thus all 5 boxes can be ticked.
1. Heavy workload. How about 100 hrs a month for starters in incredibly busy airspace?
2. Unreasonable boss. A bit iffy, but those at Gatwick recently recieved an outstanding letter from the Big Chief that neatly ticks this box.
3. Disorganisation. Reserve period? Enough said.
4. Unrealistic targets. 20 minute turnarounds that always take 40 mins.
5. Tight deadlines. Schedules that rely on 20 minute turnarounds.
The good news is that the article goes on to say that the bosses don't actually have to change anything, as all these stress inducing factors can be managed by the individuals at work.
