We used to when I lived with other ezy crew. Oh, and when I worked for them of course!! It wasn't so much a pile, but if someone was doing an orange wash, we asked the other housemates if they had shirts that needed doing and a pile appeared!!

Airline Girl

Which base are you at hun?

I am LTN based, maybe they are different there. To be honest half the time they don't even seem to notice that it's flashed up red

Could you drive to the ID dept to get it rectified there and then? Might be a mission, but at least you can fly again.

Good Luck.

Easychic

Im based at stanstead, they were really funny with me when i tried to go through, she made me sign my name and then said you need this sorted with the ID dept and was a bit snotty.. Even when i did my check flight i told my OM about it and she wasnt sure id be able to fly either and said i needed to get it sorted before my next flight. They sent me the form yesterday and ive sent it back today. They said they would try and mark it urgent so hopefully it will only be a week. so fingers crossed

How strange,

maybe give them a call and see if you can drive over and get it validated.

They told me I just needed to go to the ID dept to get it sorted out, but like I say, no one bothers about it here, just means I can't open the gates etc, that's why I haven't got mine done yet, no hurry.


Unless it's 'coz yours is a new pass(?), I have had my I.D. for years, this one is just one that's updated with my details.

Good Luck either way.

I think its just because mine is a new pass maybe. They said i could go there and sign the form but nothing can be done more than that. They have to send all my detials off again i think. And i wouldnt wanna risk using my pass and having them not let me through. The first security lady told me to make sure i sorted it out.

No and no!

The new base would be market sensitive data and therefore it is highly unlikely that any cabin crew members that browse PPruNe would be aware of this information.

If any members did announce details of a new base ON HERE prior to any official announcement, they would have to hope that nobody knows the person behind the PPruNe identifier, as they would be commiting gross misconduct and effectively giving themselves the sack.

All crew are issued with a little card which states "I'm sorry but I am not the person you need to speak to and have no information that I can give you" - the quoted text applies on here for your question.

There are a lot of rumours about different airports that could be a base!

Nightmare

Ok I'm having a nightmare situation, I wanna become cabin crew more than anything! I went for a interview with Easyjet, got offered a job,but wanted to wait til I learnt to drive as didn't wanna let Ezy down.
Recently been hols, and flew with EZY, the flight was sooo bumpy we took off in a thunder storm the whole flight was so bumpy, ezy would not serve hot drinks and threw the crew around.... I know I havent hadn't had n e training, but i was kinda scared by that flight.
Please could some crew coment?

Dont worry bout the turbulance thing it rarely happens that crew have to be strapped in. U really do get used to the turbulance i sometimes dont even notice it happening. What you have to remember these planes are designed to take the worst turbulance you could ever imagine and still come through fine. So please dont let it put you off flying it is the best job i the world am sure everyone on here will agree with me!!

hope this helps xxx

Agree 100% with Blondechick. The aircraft can take a hell of a lot more than than what the average thunderstorm can chuck at them. And you can rest assured that the pilots would not have taken off if the storm conditions were not safe to do so. If the storm was 'that bad' the actual airfield would have been closed until the storm had passes.

And most cabin crew love turbulence, it does help to brighten up a run-of-the-mill day when it's pitching and rolling all over the place. I often wonder if cabin crew would be able to stand up right in an earthquake, seeing as to what we have to put up with in turbulence!

"The aircraft can take a hell of a lot more than than what the average thunderstorm can chuck at them"



Just to give you some background to the picture above.

This is the effect of a direct hit from a bolt of lightning.

The strike created a hole right thru the fuselage.

Never under estimate the power of Mother Nature



boyoneder: Getoutofmygalley is correct though - its takes a hell of a lot to fell a big-un like you'll fly in!

Wanna know what it does to an ezy a/c? Look at this link, happened to an easySwiss flight a few years ago.

If I remember correctly, that a/c was actually repaired and out back into service.
