Captthunder - Just to clarify, easyJet are not offering flexicrew contracts in the way you describe to new pilots. They are being offered the 'New Entrant Contract' as agreed with BALPA and that is clearly stated to everyone who applies. The details of that are published on other threads, but the key thing is that all easyJet offers of employment are permanent jobs subject to passing a probationary year on pay by the hour with a minimum guarantee. You can argue whether one year is too long or not, but that is clearly stated to everyone beforehand what it will be. This is not Brookfield by the back door, which was the case previously. The era of flexicrew at easyJet is gone mercifully, after a long and tortuous battle. You may not like the terms and conditions being offered and therefore do not take the job. Those terms are, however, clearly published and there for everyone to see beforehand - there are no longer any secrets.
