I imagine that if this rumour is true, which I suspect it is not, then a 'happy' compromise would be found by which the ex-Wizzair pilots now working for easyJet received a raise but were still paid less than their western-based colleagues. If they subsequently chose to move to easyJet's western european bases then they would attract the same salaries as their colleagues there. The bottom line for me is that if we are to advance into the old 'East' then it is clearly nonsense to suggest we pay the same salaries as someone based in London or Paris. That view is not held by our union, but I cannot see any credible way forward without some sort of split-base salary structure. Remember if these guys got a 15% pay-rise they would be living very well indeed in Krakow or Warsaw.
