The BALPA newletter is also a 'word for word' relay of our 'p-mail' weekly internal newsletter that is sent out to all pilots. It was an agreed statement between the Union and the Company. Of far greater interest to all easyJet pilots were the statements regarding future command opportunities. As things stand it looks likely that all future commands will be offered on a 'Permanent Part Year 75%' deal. That means you work full time for 6 months in the summer and then only 50% for the winter months for 78% pay. All a sign of the times.
