Anyone seen 10 tonnes of traffic load lately?
Yep. Every sector I fly for EZY from LGW is >10 tonnes payload.
There is undoubtedly a profoundly anti-Ryanair sentiment that exists in many airlines.
There is also a growing anti-FR sentiment amongst the public in the UK. More and more people realise that EZY is actually a bit upmarket from FR and that is why they choose us.
We were not magically met by some kind-hearted management guru who just wanted us all to feel good about ourselves. With the lowering of relative membership, we at easyJet are facing a much more Ryanair-esque approach to negotiations by emboldened managers who, with some justification, believe that the pilots are now a soft touch. It is to be hoped that the freeloaders will come to their senses and join BALPA before we face the same snags Ryanair pilots are facing now.
Spot on, NSF. We need to bang some sense into the heads of the free-loaders, not wait for them to come to it. And the IPA.
EZY stands on the cusp of enormous success for customers, staff and shareholders alike. It can be the Southwest of Europe. We can not let it be wrecked by the greed of a few here-today-gone-tomorrow suits in open-necked shirts and cabin crew uniforms.
