Anybody who uses the words "Easyjet" and "Career Airline" in the same sentence these days needs their head examined.
It's gotten so bad now that a couple of my former colleagues now SFO's have elected to turn down the offered command ... because it was a "seasonal command" i.e. you go back RHS in the winter - another dirty and devious way to screw the flexicrew kids. And of course the same crap with moving to LGW for the command. Any SFO on a base where they have a life especially if it's MAD or MXP would be mad to take them up on their oh-so-generous offer. Ergo - sorry guys we need some "flexicrew DEC's".
Word to the wise - out here in the sandpit we have most of the same things as EZY - incompetent managers, crap rosters, constantly moving command goalposts and a company that treats you with utter contempt. But at least an FO here, takes home a couple grand more than an EZY captain every month. If there's seriously 300 people waiting in the command wings and they're still talking DEC's, some of you guys should seriously think about what you're doing.
