BALPA and the then ezy CC are responsible for the introduction of flexicrew into easyJet.
When the CTC cadets asked for representation BALPA refused to help them citing that they were not employed by ezy so could not be represented.
When ezy wanted to offer a cadet payscale (as many airlines do to ameliorate their training costs) BALPA refused but agreed to "power by the hour" as an alternative.
But it's OK because the then BALPA Vice-chair now has her management job!
