The new hotel breakfast is worse than the previous, the rooms are about the same, as you say there's no gym, the bus is less reliable and timely, and all in all my crew were unimpressed, as were the others we bumped into on our trip. My own room had a number of defects. Maybe my remark was a bit tongue in chek, but we should be staying in much better places than that.
by the way, I have heard that they are bodning for aibus training fr people who transfer to a bus base, whilst those based where the aircraft is put are not bonded. Anyone like to comment?

BTB , you are right about idenitifying people - most pruners will agree its totally un-acceptable and usually the behaviour of a coward who didnt or doesnt have the b**ls to say something to your face .
A thought for you on BALPA membership , i am an easyjet pilot and was member for 8 years , i resigned recently for various reasons .I think its sad and telling that the main thrust of your sales pitch to non members is that " you will need it in the event of your accident" . Give some reasons other than crew food and Nice hotels , ( i dont eat Mayo and like the majority of comapny pilots dont night stop in Nice) why should i join again ?
Happy flying

Airbrake, BTB makes no secret whatsoever of his identity, but as it seems to have upset you, I attemptyed to edit my post. This can not now be done more than ten minutes after the post was made, so thanks Danny for that.
I did refer to him as I did, in answer to his direct question 'Have you any idea who I am?'. Fair enough, I think?
And no, I'm not going to give my name. I reserve the right to remain anonymous. BTB gavew that up long ago and publicly.
ps I've asked one of the admin team to delete the forename used in the above post. I still stand by my remarks above.

Harry Again:
the breakfasts at the novotel are worse than at the Park? You idiot. The Park stopped the breakfasts in october with the complience of the company. They stopped room service in november. The so-called easyjet menu promised in june never materialised. The 20% discount was removed in october. The noise disruption was pointed out by me in july, and it took until december to get it changed. The Pak is in an isolated industrial estate; the Novotel right by Cap 3000 and he beach cafes. For the last 2 months the park management could not have made more effort to make us more unwelcome. If you want to know the full details of the whole shennanigans call me personally and I will reveal details not best aired on an open forum.
And on the Balpa front: 6/3 is not an option after april. It will be either 5/3 or randon (8 days off a month) rostering. You fools who ditch the only tangible negotiating vehicle will die by the sword.
