Inflation
Some people are living in cloud cuckoo land - inflation is not forecast to rise much further than at present, and indeed is forecast to fall off a clidd shortly:

No sane person wishes for increased inflation to consequently raise a pay claim - the lessons of the 70s forgotten?!!

You are right in what you say and would be happy to have a pay rise of 0% if fuel was down to 80p a ltr or if my gas bill was down a half but it aint. EZY are giving us RPI + 0.5% based on September 2008 rate. So just hope for a big spike in sept to get more dosh then a big fall in inflation would be grand.
Cheers

Trouble is that our pay rise is only playing catch up on the rises in prices over the last year. Once tax is also taken off, then cash in the pocket in no way covers real increases in cost of living.

Personally I think we have done rather well with rpi+0.5%, particularly when you look at other settlements and the current climate of oil costs!

Read the last two posts. RPI for September, which is what the increment is based on, is published in mid-October i.e. next week. That misses the cut-off date for Oct salary but will be made up-to-date in November's pay.
R-E-L-A-X...what can possibly go wrong? You haven't spent it already, have you?

To get a job for EZY do you have to have TR, and if you don't have one do they make you pay for one yourself if you want to get the job?
Just curious if its another pay for training company.
Thanks

What can go wrong?
They are coming to talk to us in our crew rooms about something on the very day that the RPI figure and therefore the payrise is announced?
They are going to try to weasel out of it for sure!
Can They?

I have a feeling that this announcement will go along the lines of 'really tough trading conditions...blah blah blah, oil price has been $145 a barrel...blah blah blah, strengthening dollar affecting 40% of our costs....blah blah blah...........ok guys about that pay rise!'
Everyone must join Balpa...they may have made decisions that you werent happy about in the past but we need to show some solidarity at the minute. This is not so that we can run the airline into the ground but so that we dont get screwed left right and centre. If we can get 95% membership ( you are always going to get some freeloaders) then we are in a much more powerful bargaining position.
I predict random rostering, W patterns and some other such suggestions over the coming weeks.....enjoy!!!

Ladies/Gents - many of you contributing here are easyJet pilots/cabin crew. May I respectfully suggest that washing our dirty laundry in public is not appropriate at this time. There is a very-well used easyJet forum within PPruNe which I heartily recommend to you. If you are not members and would like to participate just PM me with your name and staff number and I guarantee that you will be allowed access to the forum within 48 hours. Your details, as always, will be kept strictly private and once I have verified you are a genuine easyJet employee your name and staff number will disappear! Anonymity is guaranteed.
As I say, you are free to say whatever you want, but please think before you post on a public forum as it is potentially very damaging to our cause. Many thanks. NSF

RPI announced today at 5% so thats a 5.5% pay deal on basic salary and a 5% increase for sector pay , pretty good bearing in mind the current economic climate.
Also most forecasters are now prediciting RPI to decrease form next month onwards so BALPA's timing was spot on !!
