The new terms and conditions recently accepted at Easy mean all new Captains will be on 10% less for the first six months, or put another way 5% less for the fiirst year or 2.5% less over 2 years!
At present they can get away with it, but it wasn't so long ago the company was giving £30k to DE Captains because they were so desparate. As always market forces drive all our salaries, but I will be interested to see how many if any of my colleagues hand in their notice at the end of this month when we get one years back dated pay, loyalty bonus and I believe disruption pay for our shambolic rostering. Easy already has major retention and sickness problems within the Cabin crew departement, but departures from the flight deck are not really giving cause for concern yet, hence no demand for DE captains.
