Re: 99% of easyjet pilots reject pay offer

WizofOz and others,
It may not be the right thing to do to increase the size of the pay claim now that the momentum has swung decisevely our way, but it does bode well for the future.
Once the pilots in easyJet, and I specifically mean the new joiners here, have a taste for what can be acheived when we all stick together, the shopping list can now include a (few) other points that need rectifying:
1) The use of DEC's in favour of our own pilots;
2) The leave system, although arguably better, still has holes in it;
3) 5/2/5/4 must become 5/4/5/4 to ensure adequate rest and avoid fatigue (too late for some?)
4) Losing crew food is not an option
5) The pension is inadequate.
6) Total mistrust of the management's harsh practises.
7)The shares were supposed to be part of our package.

It's too late for the 300 that have left since 2002, but maybe now the pilots have a scent for victory, this will be the first of many.
