EZY will not go on strike for the same reasons that RYR never went on strike. Many pilots at many different bases, on different contracts, some paid in euros, some in sterling, some getting loads, flying and money, some getting little, some FOs just promoted, some waiting, some don't give a ****, some already did.
Striking over a crap meal is not the question. The idiots who voted for it back in the day when you had a chance to opt for feeding yourself, post GO takeover, lost you that chance at looking after NO 1 and not consigning anything needful to management.
These same idiots voted for a bonus/share scheme which gave them a one off payment in 2003 and has paid little or nothing since.
The FOs waiting to be shafted by their new promotion/75% deal will not strike because if they do, they are off the list!
Strikes are so Arthur Scargill; get real and be happy to be in the great throng of shat on plebs who drive aeroplanes for a living.
Join your also shat on buddies at RYR and try to do something constructive TOGETHER, instead of continually shooting caustic and silly barbs at each other ad nauseam.
