I realise it has been a long summer for our passengers, but it has been just as bad for the crews onboard, working 11 hour duties just to keep the planes flying.
To be fair, our CEO has taken action and fired out Flight Ops manager who watched the whole situation grow out of control, and is trying to retain the existing staff by improving working conditions. We have been recruiting non-stop since last November for LGW and LTN (and other bases) and are training 120 new cabin crew each month.
Things can only get better, as this summer has been the worst one I have ever experienced at easyJet.
