This is a quote from the covering letter from management that was issued with the propsed pay offer.
"Over the last 12-18 months the Flight Operations management team has been working on a strategy to engage you, our pilot community, with a fresh approach that reflects your professional status and the contribution you make to the success of easyJet. "
If that is the case why on earth did they offer such an insulting pay offer initiallly?
I believe this pay issue comes down to trust.
I don't trust them not to shaft the Milan pilots.
I don't trust them not to use airport standbys frequently
I don't trust them on their calculations - how many sectors was it based on?
They have used the reserve period in 5254 (which was supposed to be there to maintain roster stability) as a random rostering month.
In the trial - rarely did pilots do 5 earlies, yet now it is commonplace
They rarely keep their promisses on time scales for base transfers
They have plenty of SFO's waiting for command courses but they will still recruit DEC's.
The company have a lot of trust to win back and this opaque offering does nothing to rectify that at all.
Alone I feel that I have to vote NO to protect the interests of the Milan and otehr future bases, as this simply has to be stamped out. BALPA did say they would not allow this to happen...So why has it?
