''m still waiting for someone to explain just what they think the workforce/BALPA can legally do. No one in their right mind is going to put their own livelihood at risk to help a non-employee/contractor etc....
Well that Non-employee / contractor sits next to you and your permanent contract colleagues in fact only a few feet away upfront. So they fly an Easyjet aircraft if the !!!!! hits the fan and the person in the left hand seat (YOU) had a medical problem it would be that Flexi crew Non employee colleague who'd have your fate and the 150+ pax fates in their hands!
I would have thought there were enough grounds to go on strike collectively based on Easy jet exploiting new joiners who cannot live properly, come to work unwell lowering safety so they don't lose their pay etc etc....It is a case of i'm alright Jack and sloping shoulders of those on good T&C's end of!
Anyone who thinks that a cadet turning around and saying NO will stop it is in cloud cuckoo land as the bloke behind him will say yes......to get a foot on the ladder, would any of us have been any different if it was the ONLY option when we finished training? Is today's youths mindset that different to us when we were in that positon? I dealt it....
It is when
you as their Non colleagues say that you will no longer fly with someone on your flight deck who is being exploited. How none of you can see that grounding Easyjet in the UK until they change things wouldn't have the company on its knees within a week begging you to come back to work is beyond me.....
Why doesn't such exploitation take place in Europe? Erm..........!
