EZY's new paydeal...what a joke

[Money Man]

Today EZY announced their new paydeal.
Captains get 5% and a one off payment(only LTN captains) of 2000 Sterling. First Officers get 2.7% (Yes, TWO POINT SEVEN) to both basic and sector pay.
And this is the package to remain competitive with GO and Ryanair?

Mmmmm, guess the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence. I might have a look, what about you?

What a sad day, and not even Friday the 13th yet.

How can they get away with that after last months "golden hellos!" to new captains. How many did they get with that anyway? Just rest assured the pay deal is even worse at a certain 737NG operator south of the river!

Britannia, Excel. Give us a clue!

Regards the 25k and 30k for those Captains joining EZ. How did that go down with the Captains already in? We can all imagine, but what was the reality?

Come on SkyClear. If I remember correctly you used to work for them!

[SkyClear]

No I didn't, but curious as to why you think that. I wonder why.

My question still stands...

[upwiththebirds]

SkyClear. Sorry M8 , must have you confused with someone else! As to your question there is only one 737NG operator south of the river and that's Excel. Britannia's B738's are at GLA & LBA as far as I know.

Here at BA, we got 1.4% this year!

"shoebox on 't end of motorway....."??? Bloody luxury lad! We used to live in t'hole in middle of t'dirt track! Mind you we just got 3.75% and that was for ALL pilots in Air Two Bob.
