Ezy has enjoyed the benefit of droves and droves of new hires funding their own arrival, which has undoubtedly seen pressures on the other operators as a result of this workforce assisted salary induced reduction in staffing cost at the orange loco, The benefits to the company have been discussed ad finitum. The low cost model does depend heavily in paring costs down to an absolute minimum. This is manna nirvana to the accountant. Getting staff to invest in their own salary is quite a clever move if you can find those willing to invest in it.
However from a purely long term operational viewpoint considering diversity as an added stream of safety I guess is this approach of cadet heavy recruitment to such an extent and for such a time period, is also very short sighted. You can only surmise that some unbiased manager in ezy higher echelons has spotted the inherent weakness with the hiring practices.
Monarchs downturn maybe exactly the breath of fresh air that the orange bubble needs. A touch of diversity can inly add strength to the overall operation.
As posted above some of the more impatient "command ready SFOs"(who dont forget as we are all regularly reminded, are there early anyway for a pop at command... Or so the sales pitch goes) so just a short wait longer while the company allows itself to strengthen? Is this not important to all, including the SFOs in question-I can only guess its exactly this scenario of upset and clear feelings of being wronged that gives some, the understanding that ezy is awash with me-me-me merchants.
I have to agree about the outlook of some of the posters on here from within the bubble. Sort of adds weight to the arguement for diversity.
