Easyjet TRSS BYCOTT
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Ryanair have now realised that they can no longer attract experienced professional Pilots who are prepared to pay thousands upon thousands of pounds for a qualification, upon which they can firstly, only exercise the benifit of that qualification to said company and secondly, within their specific working environment .
This raises the question, "How much longer can Easyjet hold out?" Surely Easyjet are now starting to feel the strain. My question to fellow experienced professional pilots is this:
If Easyjet decided to abandon their immoral TRSS scheme and replace it with a bond, would you be inclined to apply? YES or NO ?
Before anyone asks, no, I am not part of an Easyjet management task team, although it may seem like it from the theme of the post.
My personal answer is YES. I would consider it. I believe I have paid enough money to get to the stage where I am at (a mere 1500 hours I know, but mostly on Jet ) and feel my family and I deserve to be able to apply for positions which do not require me to pay any more money.
Thoughts anyone?
Ps. If you are a wannabe, don't bother replying, this post is not meant for you, as you are in a completely different situation.
