In the past easyJet had been always a DEC airline & BALPA playing a self-interest game maintaining the status-quo on expense of our fellow colleagues.
CTC is a perverted way of pilot´s employment and should had never started from the beginning. BA is happy to take our highly motivated and trained FO/CPTs just to be replaced by cheaper cadets from the sausage factory. It does not take a crystal ball to imagine what is going to happen: Look at new trainer contracts, new bases T&C ....
Let me quote Niemoller:
"
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
I think it´s just a matter of time, until reality is spread around the flight schools. It is likely that at the end we will suffer a shortage of qualified people (see US market). Luckily the airline offering the most decent T&C will not face the same problem. In the long-term it does pay off to treat people with some decency.
