Cabin Crew 1 Passengers 0
Since when has any UK Company been remotely concerned by the interests of the customers.

Isn't this just a sure-fire way of making sure that any delay of 50 minutes turns into a delay of an hour, and every delay of just less than two hours turns into a delay of more than two hours? I can't believe anyone in airline management would be so fundamentally stupid as to sign up to something like this, but someone clearly has. Absolutely potty.
It already exists. £35 for any delays over 2 hours. Are you suggesting crews should work extra hours for free?

Fundamentally if you get delayed, then it’s the same as any other airline and you crack on, get the job done and accept it’s part and parcel of airline life. If you’re telling me that this is the norm already, it speaks volumes about easyJet OTP.

COme back here with evidence of the OTP across the network and then try and tell me crews are deliberately making departures go over the threshold.............

It’s rare to get the 2 hour payment. Plus, easyJet crews get sector pay which is a set pay based on sector length. Some airlines get flight pay which is based on a hourly rate. So by your reckoning, those crews must stretch out their day to secure more pay?

How are the summer med bases staffed? Are they all EU residents or are UK citizens allowed to work there?

To work at any EU base whether seasonal or not, as a UK citizen you’d need the right to live and work in that country as well as an EASA ATPL

All operated by EasyJet Europe, so crewed from established EU bases.
