I've been trying to stay out of this but having read just soooo much cr*p, can't help but chip in.
Sure there are things wrong in easyjet but nothing like the impression you'd get by reading these pages.
If I've understood correctly inflation is rising up above 3% so that means Captains will be on
about at least £64K pa plus about £10K sector pay some of which is tax free plus 7% pension, loyalty bonus after 2 yrs of 5% rising to 15% after 10 years, loss of licence insurance, personal accident insurance, legal insurance, death in service insurance and crew food.
Any F/O with an ATPL (for foreign chappies in the UK thats 1500hrs total time and passing some exams) will be on about £40K pa plus about £8K worth of sector pay plus all the oter n=benefits except the loyalty bonus which only kicks in after changing seats. For a dedicated young man this can be achieved by mid to late twenties. (and one F/O wrote earlier asking if he'd be able to afford an overseas holiday - well the answer is that most people do on salaries much lower than this)
And this is a bad deal???????????????????????????????????????
Sorry - forgot to add that we're told that there 60 command places for internal moves this year.
Getafix says the crew food is not fit to eat - if he is from GO has he tried it? Think not - does he suppose that the pilots in easyjet are stupid in their wish to keep the food?
Anyone from Buzz care to comment??????
Our problem is rostering (not pay) and the Company does seem to be trying to fix that now so lets give them a chance
Wake up guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
