You say "the vast majority of our pilots will have permanent contracts".
Why not every single one of them?
You can pretend all you like about great management, but where is the respect and decency?
If even a single eJ pilot is on a "flex" contract, you will have left yourselves open for further, more egregious, division tactics in the future.
It should be every pilot on an eJ contract.
This is a serious PROFESSION, not some holiday job in a bar.
