Are we putting profit before safety?

easyJet have introduced a new crewing system that is SUPPOSED to save the company a fortune. No problem so far.

However the said system rosters people on a four sector days to change crews four times, positions crews all over the network and generally causes delays and longer hours because half a crew is waiting for the other half who are arriving on a delayed service. On top of this, crew integrity is compromised because half the time the pilots do not know who the cabin crew are , and vice versa, because we are chopping and changig all the time.

All I can say to the people concerned is, if you think the old system was expensive to run, JUST TRY HAVING AN ACCIDENT.
