The other point that needs mentioning is that the blame culture at easyjet has reduced voluntary ASRs by 75% from the levels we enjoyed during the GB days.
What? Sez who?
Ah, the good old days of GB. Those 'GB' pilots have decided to leave professionalism at home now they are working for EZY, have they? Give us all some credit.
There's no checklist item for "Take off clearance...obtain" or "Coffee...checked not too hot" but most pilots seem to manage OK.
I have filed ASRs at EZY, some involving errors on my part, but not been disciplined/sacked for being honest (yet). I have found the culture at EZY open and objective, and have been here longer than most. Still, I never worked at GB which was obviously the greatest airline in the world. I shall just have to manage for myself the cockpit gradient and CRM issues that our sub-standard SOPs cause, oh what a strain.
