If this is what you think, then I am afraid you have not understood the problem we have. After all, you don't work for easyJet so everything you hear is second hand (your mate).
I think most of us are generally satisfied with the t&c's. After all this is partly why I joined. However I would say that your argument about knowing what we signed for is flawed, as one can only be certain of what it is like to work for a certain company by experiencing it first hand. Everything you hear from someone else, employee or company, is strongly biased. Now, I am not saying I am disatisfied to work for easyJet, before you jump to conclusions as you usually do. Indeed I enjoy my job, but this is not to say I also believe we deserve more recognition from management. Without the goodwill we show everyday not a single eJ aircraft would depart on time. If our current management continues to believe we only deserve a mere pat on the back, and a dismal pay rise, if our ops director thinks he can get away with being condescending and confrontational with our representatives, then one day the goodwill will be gone, and the network will grind to a screeching halt.
Your mate could also tell you that the current pay deal is only slightly better than the previous one which was strongly rejected. I am not going to vote yes to a deal which is essentially the same as the one I voted against a few months previously. And if this causes us to have ballot for IA so be it. I refuse to betray myself and what I think is right, sorry.
