Casualty

Did anyone watch casualty last night?

Now why was that door not armed?

OK I know it would have ruin the whole episode had it have been, but thats not the point. The other door was armed as they managed to evacuate (why did they only use one door to evacuate anyway?)

And why did they leave the open door unattended, very dangerous if you ask me.

I know I'm talking cr*p but I'm bored.

I saw that episode and my blood was boiling with all the errors in it.
  • At no point did you see a crew member by their door to help evacuate if needed.
  • Then there was the incident with the unarmed door
  • Why were both engines shut down? No wonder it wasn't moving to the gate
  • Why did the CC member make the PA to tell everyone to prepare to evacuate WITHOUT informing the Captain about the cabin situation?
  • Why would the CC be serving "Complimentary cups of tea and coffee" in a delay getting on stand?
  • Why did the nice firemen in the yellow fire engines arrive and not carry out any medical checks on the guy who fell from the door?

This has to have been one of the worst episodes of Casualty ever, and this programme is seriously going down hill.

I really felt like complaining to the BBC duty office about it, but that would make me sad....

Being scrolling down 8 pages and not much about terms and conditions. It might be because I am looking in the wrong place. If so please tell me where the right place is.
Have seen average net pay is around £1400 per month is this correct??
Roster 6 on 3 off??

Is this for all easyjet bases? And is the £1400 for CC or SCCM.

If anyone could share a bit of information about this would really appreciate it. Luton and Stn t&c`s are the ones I am looking for.

Thank You

Yes a rolling roster pattern of 6 days on covering normally 3 earlies and 3 lates which will consist of actuall flying duties, airport standby or home standby duties.

Your pay will be at a lower level for the first 6 months as you are on a probationary wage (still good just a little reduced). After probation you will on average take home around 14/1500 as a junior.

Dolley:

Congratulations! I hope to have you as SCCM soon. I am still waiting for my references to be sorted out. However, I have some flights in my roster already. I am supposed to be flying on 21st next month or even on 20th (standby), whatever it means…

Thank you. I doubt you will have me on your roster though as you are based in London somewhere, aren't you? And I'm BRS based.

Good luck for your references -keep on chasing them up!

the sickness thing...

Hi All, am a new poster woohoo!

So, I'm unable to be promoted due to a totally ridiculous technicality resulting in a verbal warning. Was wondering what opinions other LGW based people had regarding me getting their decision overturned? Sounds unlikely to me but for some reason still want to be SCCM at EZY and am getting frustrated with the wait. Any ideas?

New sickness policy kicks in from (I think) the 21st of May. Check out the People Handbook on 'Inside' to see what it states regarding sickness and promotion.

If the People Handbook says nothing negative then speak to your OPM AFTER the 21st and ask them to review it!

Ezy,

I'd highlight this to the peeps at LTN asap. Even though the ad say that there is nothing in there to endanger anyone/thing, but for someone that isn't/may not be in the industry, they may not know what is and isn't sensitive.

Ezychic:

I agree with offstand, make luton aware asap. Send an email to AH if you can't think of anything else.
Not sure if it's really a problem but rather be on the safe side!

Duh!

Can you believe that letting the office know didn't cross my mind.
I am so thick.

Just emailing BCCM and OPMs now in the hope someone picks it up (company email playing up though grrrr).

glad to see this item didnt actually get sold...there are some really stupid people out there, and the sellers comment to the question that was posed was not thought out at all. we are told as crew that when we recieve a new manual, the old one has to be properly disposed of (ie. shredded) because there may not be stuff in there that oculd possibly endanger an aircraft, but they ARE controlled documents, and nobody except employees should be in posession of these items.

I know I've read it somewhere...

I'm sure you've all been in the situation...you are absolutely sure that you've read something but you don't know anymore if it was a memo, a notice to crew, an email or in one of those countless little magazines/newsletters (eg fresh/trollied/crew matters/...)...

Wouldn't it be great if there would be something on the Intranet were ALL the information would be available in a kind of dictionary way...

Anyway, it happened to me recently, and it's still bugging me now because I know I've read but been put on the spot to show proof and I can't because I can't remember where it was (I know it's not in the Memos because I actually reviewed them all -sad, I know!)

...if somebody can remember where to find it please give me a hint...it's about the easyjet magazine (the big one) and that we are not supposed to encourage pax anymore to take them home with them (Not to mention it in the PA anymore) as it helps the environment and is obviously a saving for easyjet.

Any hints are appreciated. It's definitely been communicated to us as other crew member remember but can't recall where either...

Hey Dolley

That certainly has not been communicated at LGW, so I can say you are correct that it has been been on any NTC's.

Personally I stopped promoting the magazine as being a freebie to take away with you around about last September. I got rather p*ssed off with replacing them on every turnaround as well as thinking of the environment.

Maybe it was in your emails? Are you aware that if you click on your crew mails deleted items folder, everything you have deleted will still be in there. If it was emailed to you by an OPM you should be able to find it
