ReallyAnnoyed,
Yeah, my analogy was wasted on you.
Your mantra is "If its difficult, don't bother" is it?
Why don't you get a little fired up in that LHS of yours on behalf of your professional colleagues, about to get stiffed yet again? Did you find that sitting down across the table from your management with that type of attitude got you far in your negotiations?
Whatever anyone does, don't forget that EZY recently announced multi-billion pound orders for huge numbers of aircraft, are forecast to make huge profits this year, have a share price that has ballooned recently, and yet have conducted a cynical recruitment campaign involving calculated obfuscation of the T&C's on offer to take yet further advantage of those pilots who are near the bottom of the pile.
If the conditions were ever ripe for industrial bargaining to deliver a proper deal for new joiners in the RHS, now is that time.
What is EZY's excuse?
EZY would not blink twice at the cost of bulk purchased TR's for non-TR'ed FO's. It is a drop in the ocean, not even equivalent to the CEO's annual salary!
Righteousness?
Its a shame more pilots aren't more indignant on behalf of their professional colleagues.
FWIW, I'm LHS, not in any way affiliated with EZY, have sat across the table from Management and attempted to stop the rot, and am thoroughly disgusted with the EZY recruitment paradigm.
