For completeness: BA Short Haul manager grumbles (on-line) about the competition from the LoCos, clearly hinting at how IAG/BA management feel BA pilots T&C's are completely out of kilter with the likes of that enjoyed by those who work for Easyair, Ryanjet, et al. and therefore clearly something must be done, or else....

Unfortunately for him several of his pilots, who are former employees of Easyair, point out that at least at their previous employer they had relatively stable rosters (especially the days off), they didn't have to spend a large portion of their (often extended) working days compensating for the inefficiencies of LHR, and that at their previous airline they (and/or their former colleagues) benefited from a profit share scheme that they felt actually rewarded them for the graft they put in.

I'm not quite sure if they regretted their decision to change employer but it's certainly given everybody food for thought ...... and the manager has not compared apples with oranges since.......
