terms and conditions: easy vs. dba
OK, maybe some easyJet pilots can help me here:
I fly for Deutsche BA (dba) in Germany.
As you know easyJet´s decision to either buy dba or not is expected soon. They are telling us:
Either accept easyJets terms and conditions or we´ll walk away.
So far the german alpa has refused to accept these easyJet conditions.
We (dba/alpa) currently have the following agreement (contract):
min. 11 days OFF/month
max. 850 hrs/year
max. 85 hrs./months (89hrs. possible 3 times a year)
max. 5 days work in a row
max. 5 sectors/day
we have a seniority system in place and are strongly represented by the german alpa.
In comparison: What does the new easyJet/BALPA deal look like?
I understand it´s up to 7 days ON, as low as 2 days OFF, up to 6 sector days, max. legal flight times, no monthly hrs. limit, no seniority....
Also, easy management seems to be widely mistrusted. Am I wrong?
What´s your guess: Is R.W. going to buy dba...?
Should he, or not...?
Should we stick to our T&C´s and risk not being bought?
Would that be such a bad thing?
Any comments greatly appreciated!
