easyJet is not to everyones taste, but I've been here for 6 years and still think it is a good place to work. Yes we work really hard, but the people I work with are great fun, the money is really good, and I have had some fantastic oppurtunities for career progression. A lot of UK airlines are flying their crew to the maximum 900 hours these days, without some of the rewards easyJet can offer. It is not perfect, but it is slowly getting better. We have had some good pay rises this year and the new uniform is on the way. Yes it is not for everyone, but I like it.
