When I was there commuting letters were only available to those on permanent contracts. Flexi pilots were
not eligible for a commuter letter. This may have changed since my departure.
Hourly rate I started on was £20 per hour (CTC). This went up to £43 once I had 500 hours on type. I lasted just under a year and flew 677 hours. Just didn't make economic sense to stay!
I'm assuming new entrants on the flexi deal now get paid an hourly rate from day one? And are not paid the £1,200 per month "allowance" for their first eight months?
ADM I think current easyJet Capts salaries are completely irrelevant. I'd bet my right nut that in five years time T&Cs for new Capts will have eroded even further to what they currently are. EJ cabin crew t&cs were eroded, first officer t&cs have been continually eroding over the past five years. Who's next?
Granted this is a potential issue in every operator.
