Gee Silverfox6, don't hold back. Tell us what you really think!
Looks like someone has missed out on their (european) base of choice and is having a real whinge. You need to check your facts before you start shooting your mouth off. It is fairly obvious you don't know the first thing about the EJ basing policy for new joiners or current employees because by your definition of
FAIR
F a i r in this sense would mean that, of course, you have to take up the next open position - wherever it is (not mandatory in England)
EJ meets your test.
Once you are in you get preference over the new joiners as to base and you can join the queue at any time. Just put your towel down, save your space and wait your turn like everyone else.
If you don't like it don't sign the contract, stop whinging and find a job in the country that you want to live in (if you can) without having a go at a company that provides employment for a significant amount of flight crew throughout Europe, without prejudice.
