...' you mean practically every Luton based pilot for starters
I too have been a critic of some (many?) of the management practices over the last several months but, looking back briefly over the threads on PPruNe, it's always the same 20 or so names that appear to post. A small percentage of the total pilot workforce - most, if not all, of whom have access to internet.
Yes there are a lot of pi$$ed off people, but not everyone.
Another recent thread on PPruNe was started to specifically deter people from joining EZ. Bang out of order! Some of the problems we face result from a shortage of personnel in key areas - including flight deck.
How on earth will those problems ever be resolved if the supporters of that thread get their wish and no-one joins?
Many of the current dispute issues at EZ are common to many operators. Some, of course are unique.
I would still encourage people to join. The more we get, the easier - and quicker - it will be for our new rostering manager to hopefully provide us with the sort of working schedule that most of us would like. 'Crew based' rosters for next summer already SOUNDS like a step forward. Some, of course, will never be happy!
Hopefully there will be some form of announcement very soon to bring an end to these months of rumour-mongering about the pay and terms negotiations. With any luck, it will be acceptable to the majority and we can at last move on.
