It is such a shame this company have become totally hell bent on the short term implication of cost saving.
It whiffs of buying JML Spanner set at half the price for a one time offer.. and wondering why it breaks 2 days later when a Stanley set is a little more but would last you a lifetime.
Putting things in perspective, I know that when I get a stinking roster change, shafted down route or hear some unimaginable rumour I think there is one person looking over our shoulders trying to shaft us. What I try to remember that this place has been so cost concious that everyone is fighting the same battle. In my opinion crewing dont have enough a pegs to put in the holes and this has a knock on effect to everyone elese...i.e. we work our balls off.
There are countless stories of waste, mismanagement and darnright incompetence but that is in any airline, dont think easyJet is any different. They just tend to do it more often...with 22 year old managers 'who should know better...'
What I find utterly unnacceptable is that we are now insulted with this offer and these people think they can get away with it.
I personally feel the leak to the press was our friend Toby Nichol at his best as the pilot 'interviewed' appeared to be answering like an educated Vicky Pollard.
I can see this is going to get messy, I hope that those reading this in two minds can join BALPA and be done with it. I am an FO, and I dont plan on being here any longer than a year now as I can just see it not getting any better. When I joined easyJet I was happy to help, now I think why bother...I want to show my support to my colleagues and wherever I go, I will be taking my membership with me to an airline with good membership..
