Summary about EZY
EZY is only on good Terms and Conditions in Spain, Italy and France because the pilots with their union have fought to get those TandC...not because EZY is a nice company.
In the UK the T and C are going down (relatively)
For example:
-In the UK a captain salary is similar to a FO on the continent (except Germany).
-Flexicrew are accepted in the UK and not in Spain, Italy or France (in France it is tolerated a maximum time). In Germany, they try to stop the flexicrew and went on strike few times
-All the new FO in the UK are flexicrew. easyJet gives permanent contract to FO only for bases on the continent because they are obliged to do so...(they do not accept flexicrew overthere)
easyJet is one of the most successful airline in the world making more than 200 millions pounds this year and they do offer only permanent position for guys based on the continent because they obliged to do so...all the rest is contractor in the for FO!
BALPA and their pilots are sleeping...and their managers laughing at them making bigger and bigger bonuses
Also, the way easyJet gives permanent contract is very subjective. No transparency at all
After the flexi crew and Lisbon contract, if still some guys think that easyJet is a nice company good luck to them
