Built4Speed, having skimmed through previous similar threads regarding flexicrew, the general consensus among some of our colleagues, and perhaps it is the natural reaction, is that, if it doesn't affect me, then why should I do something about it.
Then I read about the possibility of flexicrew Captains and saw that it resonated with a few more people who previously didn't care too much. I was reminded of an old adage:
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
The question is, what can we do about it? I don't work for easyJet but don't like the way this is heading. Ryanair may already be a lost cause, but perhaps some action here can have an affect elsewhere.
