sk8erboy - thanks that at least over the years you have liked what I have said, even if now you do not! I think you misunderstood what was said - the simple fact is that we are at last now giving permanent jobs to high-houred pilots. A number of the guys who came from Parc via BMI are now being offered full-time jobs easyJet. That, folks, is good news and we should be grateful for it. No one has detested the disgraceful terms and conditions that were offered to our FOs than me, but there are signs that little by little things are improving. I can only tell you that right now any permanent job in the UK flying Airbuses is a rare beast indeed - as far as I know easyJet are the only company doing it. Therefore, knock us if you will, but we are offering something no one else is. As I say, it is not all bad.
