Thumbs down Pay rise

Is anyone else really frustrated that we are 5 days into October and we still havent had a communication from the company about our pay rise?

The pay rise is automatic guys, the deal was to cover 3 years, 2005, 06 and 07. So this oct is the last one in the deal, all communication was sent out last year.

Wirh affect of oct 1st 2007 3% on basic
with affect of oct 1st 2007 3% on sector pay

Bonus payment of 2 weeks basic salary (guaranteed payment in dec 07)

Actually Adam, I have spoken to a union rep who confirmed it will be RPI rather than 3%. I would welcome a communication from the company to re-inforce how this equates to annual renumeration, sector pay and associated payments. I still have the details of the pay deal; but Im sure many people don't and I expect many people don't even know that it's just kicked in this month.

Well at least between the 3% and the RPI it will be which ever is higher, so the good news is it will be at least 3%

Other Airlines

Hiya guys..

Question, does anyone know the answer to the following question..

A friend of mine recently had her interview with an airline and during the interview they asked her( telling her it wasnt a trick question) if she had applied to any other airline to which she kinda answered no although she had apllied to 2 other airlines. Question is, can they actually check if she has and if would they? isnt its illegal and an invasion of privacy or whatever?

Cheers!

Yes Adam, that's my point. We are now receiving a 3% increase or RPI, whichever is the greater. RPI is riding higher than 3%. Its actually riding considerably higher than 3%. Which is why I am so interested in knowing how much I am earning each time I fly. I think it's appalling that the company has not communicated this very important issue to us yet.

(However, I think communication has improved overall from da management).

We can not check what interviews a person has previously had prior to easy.
Also if a person tells us they have had previous interviews with a airline or airlines it does not affect their application or interview.

What is the PRI at?

Inflation running at about 4-4.5% at the minute.

Is the increase based on RPI (which includes mortgage increases) or RPIX (which doesn't)

RPI = 4.1%
RPIX = 2.7%

Figures from the govt website http://www.statistics.gov.uk/instantfigures.asp

1. I don't believe that was a trick question - just a way of determing the applicants motivation, interest in the job of CC etc

2. It's very very unlikely that they would check, even if they could, which I don't think they can

Hope this helps (I used to be in CC recruitment for another airline btw)

hi,
do you know what career progression opportunities are at easyjet? do you have to have a certain amount of time flying before you can apply?

Thanks

Rachel

I think the new uniforms looks fab!! have seen a few crew around BRS wearing them and they lok very smart indeed! would like it better if all the blouses were the same colour and all the scarfs were the same...but then on the other hand its nice to bring some individuality into your uniform. looking good EZY!

I love the new uniform although I am having a few problems as follows:
  • White shirts cause iritation on the neck (most guys at LGW having same problem)
  • Trousers keep trying to fall down

I know of some crew that have had problems with zippers, trousers ripping etc. But on the whole, it's a vaaaaast improvement on our old Star Trek The Next Generation style uniform

Shirts are fine after a wash or two - they're dripping in starch when they're delivered.

It's a big improvement - half of the passengers don't notice but those who mention it have had nothing but good comments.

Ground staff still in old uniform, poor people.

Sorry but what are your new uniforms like? are they a different colour?
Are there many opportunities for advancement within the company?

Click this link https://www.easyjet.com/EN/About/photogallery.html and you can see the new uniform, some of the photos are being modelled by some of my lovely LGW colleagues.

And yes there opportunities for advancement within the company.
