There's nothing that can be done. It's not in the interest of easyJet, CTC or cheap fares (which is all Joe Public is bothered about). Flexicrew is here to stay. Permanent positions in the UK will never be available. New tax rules for pilots working abroad. eJ is a bad place to be for newbies and will soon be for permanents based abroad who commute. Fun times ahead for all. I'd happily be proven wrong! But alas I doubt I will be. Ciao darlings.
