I came in to Ezy as an SFO on the TRSS. I had already flown jets but this was the only route in available to me. I was attracted to ezy for several reasons, early command and the prospect of "people being the number 1 asset" being the most prolific.
The early command has gone and as for the 2nd statement, well the latest pay offer only serves to prove the contempt into which Ezy management hold the flight deck. EasyJet do not deserve to have the people they employ. the professionalism is first rate and the standard of pilots cannot be bettered anywhere in my humble opinion.
I would love to stay where I am but I do not see that as a viable option. The lifestyle will kill me long before I earned Ezy's measily pension. that's unless the crew food gets me first. That's not to understate a certain mustached gentlements endeavours!!!.
As far as I'm concerned for easy to make me stay there needs to be a fundamental change in the managements approach to flight deck. Stop TRSS! those on it should be re-imbursed for the cost of the Type rating, Loss of Salary and associated costs.
The management need to understand that we want a life outside of the orange network. give us 4/4. We can work the 900hours a year that a low cost outfit needs but we have ineffective crewing members. finally, we need guarantees that we can get 5 weeks off a year plus any days off in a pattern needed for important occassions eg. weddings.
no long term future for me here then
Good luck to the rest of you!!
