This thread is becoming increasingly embarrassing. Are we really expected to believe that NSF and the meerkat are two different people? I agree that it is truly laughable to compare easyJet with a properly represented BALPA airline - how can we honestly believe that there won't be any DEC positions next summer when a pilots' union in easyJet is really just an oxymoron. Nobody in the CC shows any visible leadership whatsoever and the decreasing percentage of members are happy to accept whatever they are told for the most part. If DECs were to appear on the bus fleet next summer (for the people that don't realise that CTC have already provided them this summer) then I find it very hard to believe that the CC won't once again tow the company line and tell us all that it is a necessary evil and that we wouldn't want to cost the company any money would we?!
