In relation to BALPA let's be fair about this shall we.
They negotiated the new entrant contract at Easy and the command contract remained untouched.
Sitting in the right or left hand seat at Easyjet in LGW on a permanent contract is not a bad place to be in terms of conditions and pay.
BALPA and and the senior guys at Easy stood firm and made it the career airline it is.
The cabin crew in Norwegian have maintained the very good terms and conditions that they are on in Scandinavia(agreement just signed) The Helsinki guys through the Finnish union are ready for action.
LGW will soon become the biggest base in Norwegian as far I'm aware. We need BALPA to ensure a sustainable career with decent terms.
No question about that.
