There's plenty of money to pay pilots in easyjet properly and to provide decent terms and conditions. As I described earlier, all it takes is a few pence on each ticket. Problem is that it will take the realistic threat of a strike to achieve it.

Easyjet's expansion is being achieved by keeping downwards pressure on costs through a manipulation of the profit figure with the ticket price.

If a stand is not taken now (ie threaten a strike, and demand a massive boost in renumeration - 25% over a career, using incremental payscales that increase EVERY YEAR), this airline will without a doubt grow to 1000 aircraft. We will stand with our heads held low, having presided over the decimation of our profession is the space of a few short years.

If you subsequently read a sanctimonious rebuttal of my proposal, remember that it is in the interest of our management hacks to once in a while, remove their snouts from the trough, log into pprune, pretend to be line pilots and rubbish anyone who refuses to be sold short.
