I understand your desire for STAFF TRAVEL.
But it was not at the high ranking issue for this years negotiations (result of the survey).
I am just astonished (regarding a strike, maybe!) that a lot of people say. "we can not risk" this for 1%.
And the lovely COO says: "We are not returning to the table for negotiations, before you are really on strike!"

Never ever!!! I want so see this guy explaining to the members of the PLC board incl Stelios, that a strike is taking place just for 1%, not giving to the pilots??
The damage to EZY for 1%, financially and customer orientated, would be much higher! Management is gambling high!
This is not because of 1%, this is because of the future way of EZY negotiations. It is because, who is ruling the direction (power)
The next battle lots are waiting for (2years) BALPA members will be reduced due to local contracts.
And than a strike, I wonder! If the guys in UK try to strike, the "local contract bases" will still fly"
A "EZY Germany" on strike? HaHa! will be covered by all other bases!
Waiting for the next battle means for me: Battle lost already!

Good luck to us all!

My two cents!
