Confused..............
Do we carry on our easy thread here from the original one?????????
If so last post in the easycrew I thread was.................
Hi folks,
Well have you heard.................
This last couple of weeks the DfT have been onboard and found that crew are not correctly checking seat pockets Tut Tut.
Now I know there are some crew out there that are lazy when it comes to pockets and not a push in the right direction.
But I am also going to go back to the fact of not needing to replace sick bags and cross seatbelts, Is this a factor because its making crewmore lazy?
I can handle sick bags not being replaced, but if I know my crew are not correctly checking seat pockets, basically being lazy and not working to SOP's they get told and have to re do them.
Does make you wonder.
FlyingPrincess...........................
where hav the Dft been checking?
So my reply is..................
Not sure they have not said what base or route, but they have been snooping around. So eyes open guys

Uniform Fitting
What’s with this having the uniform fitted on days off? I sent an email to Mr Brown and he said it would have to be on a day off and not paid for.
Seems other bases are having people come into the crew room for it to be done, but as LGW is near the manufacturer we have to go to them, not fair really.
Not all crew live close enough to make it viable to come into LGW on days off!

Why does it have to be on a day off?
The email from the BCCM did not say it has to be on days off, I am going to try and get my appointment booked for a 2 sector day, but allowing 1 or 2 hours after landing in case of delays.
I live nowhere near Gatwick, hence my going to do what I have said above.

Yeah thats a good idea, didn't think of that. When I sent the email to Mr Brown he sent Mrs Grass out to identify me then he came out and had a chat and said something about days off. Maybe I misunderstood......

Uniforms
I am an organiser for the T&G section of Unite working in the NE of England. Have you raised this matter with the union? It is this type of issue where collective action in the form of a petition or collective grievance could move the company and hopefully increase interest and activity in the union. Best to check the rumour out first though.

The Union
The T&G section of Unite is very active in the low cost airline sector in the UK and aims to establish a minimum standards agreement across the board. Workers can only really change matters through collectivism in the workplace. It doesn't mean we all have to like each other or be mates outside of work but if one is kicked we all are.

At least you guys from London area can make appointments!
At our base we had the uniform for 2 and a half days and that was that. Take it or leave it! If you are on leave/days off/off sick....tough luck! You got to guess your size!
Best bit, we were informed that the uniform would be available to us on the third day until 15:00. Loads of people came in on days off and even leave just to find out that the uniform had left the building around 13:00...and they tried to take it away at 09:00 and only because the office bargained with them (at least this is what the office claims) to keep it as long as possible!
Quite unacceptable, and unfair, in my opinion! Every base (including the London bases) should have at least two set of three days with the uniform to cater for all groups. If we have to guess sizes we might end up looking worse than with the old uniform!
The whole project seems so unprofessional that one might think they've never changed a uniform before...not to mention that so far it took them a whole year longer than aimed for in the beginning!

You want easyJet to pay for you to come in and try on the unifrom? You'll be wanting them to pay for the hot water you use having a shower before work next! Im sure youre not that poor. Get off your backsides and pull your finger out. Some things in life have to be done free. If you couldnt be bothered to make the effort to come in on one of your days off to try it on then dont moan when you realise it doesnt fit.

Pay for hot water...
...genious! Lets get on to the union.
I just popped in after a duty, wasn't difficult. No one has an issue about filling in expenses forms when they have worked into their day off do they, you do that in your own time!
Adam, saw you in the crew room again yesterday (or the day before), I might get the balls to say hello one day.
Where has everyone been by the way?

Doing something for the company in my own time and having a shower for work are two very different things so I’m surprised you would use such a stupid comparison! It has nothing to do with whether I am poor or not, it’s the fact that easyJet are an employer and if they want me to do something for them they have to pay me for it, because that’s what employers do. As ‘getoutofmygalley’ said we can book appointments for before or after work which is fine, as it’s a working day. As for getting off my “backsides” and “pulling my finger out” what’s that meant to mean? The reason for my post was to say that for some this might not be viable. It was not to say what I was going to do myself. And for your information I have had my fitting and ordered the uniform!
"could'nt agree more !....are the same people who wanted new uniform so bad the same ones who can't be bothered to get fitted in their own time ? apologise if i've interupted thread ....trying to get hang of site ! "
Where does it say in my original post does it say I “can't be bothered"??
Also no I'm not one of the ones who wants the new uniform so badly, I'm leaving so could not care less.
Next time you have a personal problem with my post or you fancy misreading it or taking it wrong how about you PM me instead of making stupid comments on a public forum!
