I am not at Easy Jet, I work in a Blue and Yellow Boeing.
Like I said, better to have no axe to grind and see the reality. Ask some Spanish or even Contract pilots how is the rostering or money in Vueling or Clickair, and you might find that even the diluted terms available on Spanish contracts are considerably better than the two local loco's pay. And look how succesful these companies have been in recent times, not so hot.
Why do Easy pay less than UK contract in Spain ? because they got away with it, because perhaps BALPA took their eye off the ball ,and perhaps some of their UK based brethern thought "I don't want to go there this doesn't affect me, any way they have the sun what more do they want ?"
For their sakes I hope this is not what they think, if it is , they should look at Ryanair to see the eventual outcome, with 1000 different contracts, every one worse than it's predecessor.
Enjoy the debate little Cb/ Cu or whatever you are, but don't let your personal views,biases or dissapointments "cloud" your view of reality.
An ex colleague, now with Easy in MAD, tells me that as soon as new Term is finished in BCN Easy want to open a base, then we will see who kicks ass, unless the Catalan govt do as the French and try to protect their national airlines.
