useless Balpa
I have been with easyJet for many years & feel we're at a turning point along with many other airlines facing EASA regulations & the squeezing of terms & conditions.
The Balpa CC have done their usual . They're in dispute with the company but keeping the workforce in the dark .
If they allow the company to change our terms as I understand it , the company are pushing to change our 5/4/5/3 roster pattern to facilitate a more efficient utilisation of crew hours now opened up by the regulators FTL changes ( efficient for the company I stress!) , our job will change for good!
I am a Balpa member & have contacted the CC Chairman on two occasions without response . The general correspondence I do receive from the CC is bereft of any information or directive unless you are worried about which sandwiches are going to be available in the future.
As with other airlines I have worked for , Balpa's blinkered inaction has allowed a gradual deterioration to our job.
We should not let this happen & was hoping more people could push the CC , not just at easyJet but at all airlines to turn around this race to the bottom .
Maybe we could all contact our representatives directly & demand action & not put up with the usual 'it's commercially sensitive' comments from our brown envelope accepting 'representatives' before it's too late.
