Clearly the TCX situation is a worry to many, and who can blame them for their concerns? Frankly, if I was an FO there and had a chance of a temporary contract with easyJet, I would probably take it right now. None of us have total insight into the future, but my own personal belief is that every single FO who takes a job with us under the 'flexicrew' scheme will be offered a permanent contact within 18 months. That is not guaranteed, but it is a whole lot more guaranteed than the future of Thomas Cook, sadly. That is not to speak ill of the company, who I genuinely wish great success to, but it is an observation of how things look right now. They make pull the cat out of the bag, but I would not want to bet on it. There are many people who deride easyJet, and it undoubtedly has both good and bad points. Nonetheless, apart from BA, right now I cannot think of a place I would sooner be from a job-security perspective - you really could do a whole lot worse.
