Dutchjock,
Let me give you another perspective.
When we tried getting a salary increase back when there were no Dutchjocks in the company, they told us, either accept what is on offer, or we will hire dutch pilots....
Was that blackmail?
Why did you join when you knew we were trying for something better?
I think that you have benefited from that policy, what do you think? You did not seem to care then about my T&Cs did you?
In any case Madrid is full of Dutchjocks, so go complain to them. If you do not like it go home to Holland and stay on the doll or work for Martinair at half the salary. Oh they are getting rid of their A320s
In the real world it is about supply and demand. There are Captains out there who want to join.
The have passed the interview, and are highly qualified.
You are still a first officer, and easyjet can and will do as they like. If you do not like it go somewhere else. At present you have nothing to offer, the yhave everything to offer you.
Have patience and respect for your employer....
When you pass your command do as you please, but until then take what Easy have to offer you, or relax and enjoy your life...
Enough Said.
