I have something controversial to say, if you do not like it, go think about it and come back with a sensible grown up response.
Here goes:
A pilot is perfectly entitled to whinge about where they will be based. If you live near Luton for instance and want to join easyJet, because you have 3000 hours and a 737 rating you are an attractive proposition to them.
You have experience and a rating.
So, why should you turn up to interview at eJ and not be told where you are to be based? It stinks quite frankly, and no pilot worth a bean would consider it.
easyJet will continue having a disaffected pilot workforce if they persist in the high handed manner they adopt all the time.
Equally, no wannabee should sell themselves short, because our T & C's are being eroded all the time. Perhaps a more realistic outlook would be to try and protect the fifty grand you have just spent at OATS?!?
Too many wannabees do not know what they have let themselves in for when training, and comments like:
"I will work for free" or " I will go anywhere" are really quite frankly ones from the naive desperado.
You came into the business to enjoy decent wages and lifestlye didn't you? So, why throw it away by taking sh?t terms on your first job? All that does is hurt everyone, and you will end up working for sh?t terms all your life then......
Get real. I know there are not many jobs about, but don't spoil the ones that there are by offering stupid things.......
