I am up for pretty-well any fight to stop this erosion. The employment of contract captains is simply not acceptable anywhere in easyJet. We effectively now have it at both easyJet companies - CTC provide summer contract captains from their own trainers. I was most disappointed to discover that we are employing CTC pilots as Line Trainers too - that simply is robbing an easyJet Captain of a Training Captain's job. The bottom line is that this is a line too far for me. All I have to do is receive the strike papers in the post and my answer will be yes. The problem is that there are so many battles out there to be fought that it makes it almost impossible to fight them all. This one, however, has to be at the top of our list.
So whats BALPA doing about it, you have BALPA in EZ.. and to coin an well worn phrase.. "You are BALPA, BALPA is you"
