Lifestyle Issues
Having worked for Easyjet I would have to say that lifestyle improvements would be more important than a big payrise.
None of the above posts have addressed this issue.
Working 5 earlies in a row and then the fatigue of 5 lates with long FDP's is just not sustainable in the long term.
It would be hard to argue that the pay is not reasonable.I am not arguing however that a fair pay rise is not also due.
The lifestyle however is a killer in the long term.
Whilst the economy is running hot and airlines worldwide are expanding it is a make or break time for the improvement of pilot conditions at EZY and many other airlines the world over.
Unity and support for your pilot association is the only way forward.Sadly pilot psyche is easily manipulated by management.A silly post from a French wannabee has already received heated replies rather than knowing when to ignore a trouble maker with no credibility.
Divide and conquer has worked well for many airlines around the world.
Best wishes to all the crews at EZY.Stick to your guns and back BALPA. All pilots stand to gain when you do.
