Absolutely priceless!
Watching you lot get wound up by a phantom internet poster (FlyingClara). Do carry on though, it’s far more entertaining than the rest of the same old drivel being discussed here

I have it on very good authority that some of the ATP pay to fly people will return this summer. It remains to be seen whether the company will charge them £7.50 for speedy boarding each time they get on after a walkround. I vote Clara makes tea in the lgw crewroom every morning. (you will need to bring the teabags clara)

Guys, this latest communication from the company is only pushing us in one direction and that is a ballot on industrial action. At the start of the summer schedule the management has lost all goodwill from their pilots. Fatigue reports will be through the roof. Get those rosters off to the FRMS team and play hardball with crewing. To quote the company, these measures 'simplify' our hotel facilities, so let us simplify our working lives, it is more simple to...
-not do discretion
-carry extra fuel
-call in fatigued after a night at the ibis.
We have fought hard to get what conditions we have, it is time again to stick together and ensure the company are under no illusions as to where this attitude will take them.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

I just removed FC from my ignore list and had a great laugh reading this thread... he/she/it is a great wind-up merchant, and I can't believe how many people get sucked in.
If you're really that bothered check out he/she/it's previous posts dating back to Feb07 when he/she/it claimed to have been virgin cabin crew for 5 months asking about training at Airmed Valencia but not being able to speak Spanish. Then there's the parents having a house in Murcia, then there's the initial Class 1 medical in Jan08 in Madrid, converting the Spanish licence to a UK one. That's when the inquiries about various companies begins: netjets, ryanair, air nostrum, Air europa, Vueling (in basic Spanish) swiftair, the ATP scheme and then Easyjet, and then the windups begin.
So..... I doubt it's an Easy management windup (much too intricate and would require planning unless there's a bonus in it!
), more likely a failed and very bitter CTC/ATP cadet if he/she/it got that far.
But in the unlikely event he/she/it does make it to Easy then it shouldn't take too long to find him/her/it out.
Word will get around and then soon he/she/it will become every skippers "beatch" for the day.
Looking forward to "working" with you Flying Clara!
Feel free to PM me.

Flying Clara,
I have read this thread with interest and amusement.
I have not checked smellster's remarks but it seems that you are not what you say you are due to your history of posts.
So a lot of people are understandably annoyed with you. As has been pointed out, pilots took a pay cut inorder to save certain "perks" if you can call it that. Also it isn't very motivating for them to hear that their water is being taken away yet management still get payrises and get as much water as they need from the water cooler in the office!!!!

Clara,
I must apologise earlier for jumping on the bandwagon and thinking you were not "real". Going by your past posts, then perhaps you are a pilot joining in the summer.
But I'm a little surprised at how vocal you are being, especially if you are using your real name - Clara. There can't be too many Clara's joing in the summer who were ex Virgin CC.
Just calm down. I have heard many sob stories about the plight of pilots these days. And you will feel the same after the novelty of that shiny jet has worn off. Would you still agree with management if they stopped maternity pay - ridiculous as it sounds.
Just be careful with what you say. This is a small world so hopefully Clara is a "stage" name. But also saying your bf is a training Captain is probably not a good thing to boast about during your rants.

Clara I would suggest that you take your argument to the BALPA forum but judging by your comments I doubt you are a member, so why not prove you are now a company pilot and make your posts in the Easyjet company forum here on PPrune. As you say you are a company pilot now so gaining access wont be a problem for you.

Well Clara it looks like it might be an avaliable position at the top of Flight ops soon. You seem to to fit the profile, Big mouth and extreme ability to piss people off and no clue what is going on. If i were you i would send my c.v to Andy H. a.s.a.p

I imagine 'Clara' is a stage name, possible nicked from pigeon street, maybe she aspires to flying long distance? or maybe she goes all the way?!!
good luck to the EZ lot, water (and tea) is damned near essential when stuck in a cockpit all day. If you aim for the bottom line, you might end up six foot under...

As an Ezy trainer FC I'm not aware that anyone from the CTC wings programme has completed their Line Training. Certainly not to complete it and then hang around waiting for a contract. You can smell the BS from here.
Sorry for lowering the tone fellow ppruners.

Clara,
Good advice from HHFA...please give it a rest. You don't bother me, as I was only passing through this thread but, my word, you are very good at winding people up! Sadly, some of those people will soon be your colleauges and it does not do you any favours to be a marked person...been there, done that.
I am sure you do not aim to be so contraversial on purpose but it is clear that you are strong-willed and quite opinionated. This is not such a bad thing....but please ask yourself these 3 questions:
"What if I'm wrong?"
"How do other people perceive me?"
"Could I make my point in a less confrontational way?"
With your obvious lack of flying experience, might I suggest that if you want to progress in EZY, or anywhere else for that matter, you learn a little bit of humble pie, or at least the ability to bite your tongue until you are settled in?
Some of the points you make are valid (eg I agree that management will want to squeeze every budget and reducing the coffe/tea does save some money....but not a lot! Unfortunately, it will reduce morale - but that's management for you!) However, unless you learn to modify your behaviour, you will not get very far in the airlines; the choice is yours.
A word from the wise

(retired angry young man)
ps On a jovial note, did you fall asleep during the human-factors and behavioural-markers part of the CRM course? Its not uncommon, you know, I know some trainers and management pilots who did too - maybe you could become like them?

"Easyjet is in serious financial troubles for the months to come, we are low cost hence we have to agree that cutting superficial cost is the key of the success."
Don't think there is a cost as superficial as Flying Clara

I was almost about to add Clara to my ignore list along with little white cloudy boy, but actually she/he/it makes me laugh all things considered.
Don't bother trying to offer her advice, if she/he/it really is joining us for the summer, let her climb into a flight deck with that attitude, the results will be spectacular!
I hope I get her/him/it as my FO one day, boy am I gonna have fun, and hey, if I was TC then I might even get more than I bargained for so that he/she/it might pass the next OPC
Honestly guys those of us that have been around should just let her/him/it run off that cliff kicking and screaming all the way to the bottom, don't waste your effort, but do laugh at her/his/its utter utter foolishness, you and I both know it will be her undoing!
Clara, you carry on, your providing a great service on here, please don't stop. I cant wait for your next trick ( Bet the TC says that too ! )
