The reality is that now times are hard, the message is that we can't give much to the employees, i.e. we've got to tighten our belts. But when times were good we saw lessening of T&C's, abandoning of increments and new contracts which were much worse than those who had been in the company for a few years, no medical for F/Os, no loss of licence, rubbish sick pay, and huge charges for type ratings.
Last summer, many at LBA worked their socks off, but nothing was given to the crews - nothing extra for a good summer. When the good times return, and if Jet2 make it through, I'd put good money on there being nothing extra given. But I have my doubts Jet2 will get through it - cargo was a much safer bet.
