I agree 100% with studi.
The problem is with the Brits and BALPA, no backbone and it will get worse. It is no coincidence that in the countries where the capt gross 170k/yr there are no flexicrew allowed by collective labour agreement. Flexicrew and cadets are only to be found in the UK. (France and Germany only with very strong restrictions as I understand it)
I wish it was different and it is time to be united. With regards to conditions easyJet is divived in easyJet UK and the rest. Itīs a shame that in the UK they have allowed to lower T+Cīs for new-joiners (read: cadets/flexi).
As someone pointed out it will only get worse. The rot will continue all the way up and the only way to stop it is to be completely united in the whole company. In the continent it works. So it should also work in easyJet as a whole.
No compromises. The company can easily afford to have everyone on decent contracts. They are just being greedy and the easiest victims are the workforce in the UK (now). I for one am in a very comfortable position (capt Europe) but if we allow this rot to continue it will reach all of us at some point.
