The sad reality is that you can complain all you want on here and call for solidarity in rejection of the offer, but you well know that there will be plenty of takers. It is delusional to think that of the 3,000+ applicants, easyJet can't find the few hundred they need who are willing to accept the conditions offered.

So, if the conditions suit you, take it. If they don't, then refuse. It is folly to think solidarity can be drummed up via PPRuNe. Not even when organised in unions can we pilots agree on major things, so to expect pilots with no ties to each other to suddenly march shoulder to shoulder is ludicrous.
It's a good job the Wright Brothers weren't of similar fortitude, else you'd still be taking your annual holiday on the back of a donkey.

When the situation is bad, is that an argument for or against some type of solidarity?

Granted there will always be the short-sighted amongst us, but these days, if you're in, or desiring to be in this industry, it is inconceivable that you are not aware of the arguments raging against accepting T&C's that drive a nail through the heart of not only existing T&C's but future T&C's as well.

The price of EZY picking up the cost of 200 TR courses at £10K/course is probably still less than the value of the CEO's package for 2013 (based on what her package was worth in 2011).

No one gets killed if she misses a target.
