No backbone, no forward looking vision, only short term thinking (making a quick buck over the summer season) looking out for his own training job.
Doug I'm generally with you in what I read from you on here, and I disagree with the sentiment that you wish to see Easyjet go down - however your above statement is totally wide of the mark. This I know for a fact, and I can promise you that despite my surprise at what seemed like his paean to Easyjet, you would be better off were more pilots in the same mould at NSF. I find ambivalence and apathy are the greatest threats in pilots selling themselves down the river but you won't find those qualities in him.
In response to the quote above I think you could argue that there is forward vision and long term thinking in making a quick buck over the summer. This leopard won't change its spots. "Making Easyjet a grrrreat place to work" is one of those vague, idle aspirations that gets trotted out every so often to show the rabble and then shoved back in the pile with paperless cockpits and nuclear disarmament. Given that, why take a hit and suffer for the greater good when ultimately it'll get you nowhere?
This is from parents' day today, latest report from teacher:
Excellent progress on cost reduction targets with initiatives in place to cover 70% of the £190 million per annum F'12 target
This is where the effort is going and this sow's ear ain't going to turn into a silk purse. It'll remain something you just can't polish. The company is dead against you, most of your colleagues really don't care - you're on a hiding to nothing. If he or someone else wants to take the money, why not? It will probably be the most realistic shot at improving your lot that you can make at that place.
