Easyjet flexicrew as proportion of total flight crew
Hi
Does anyone know where I could get figures for numbers of flight crew employed by easyjet, and crucially, what proportion of those are flexicrew (ie subcontrated out to Parc or CTC?
thanks

In uk the vast majority of the fos are employed via these schemes. In Europe is slightly different because of the local legislation, but not for all countries, I.e. in Germany almost 80%.
if you are a journalist, then get in touch with BALPA, they would love to give you more details

What sort of research project is it?
I'd be interested to see what you determine the business model is and where it is published.
No doubt some will comment on that, but I've never found a definitive business model published by easyjet. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

Are Flexicrew PAYE employees of easyjet, or self employed contractors like at Ryanair (and a couple of other UK operators with summer only, take it or leave it contracts) ...

As a general rule, a worker is:
a) employed if they work for you and don't have the risks of running a business.
b) self-employed if they're in business on their own account and are responsible for the success or failure of their business
An individual is likely to be an employee if most of the following statements apply to them:
1. You can tell them what work to do, as well as how, where and when to do it
2. They have to do their work themselves
3. You can move the worker from task to task
4. They are contracted to work a set number of hours
5. They get a regular wage or salary, even if there is no work available
6. They have benefits such as paid leave or a pension as part of their contract
7. You pay them overtime pay or bonus payments
8. They manage anyone else who works for you
Indications that a worker is self-employed:
1. They can hire someone else to do the work you've given them, or take on helpers at their own expense
2. They can decide what work is done and when, where, or how it is done
3. You pay them an agreed fixed price - it doesn't depend on how long the job takes to finish
4. They can make a loss or a profit
Even if none of the above statements applies, a person is still likely to be self-employed if most of the following applies to them:
1. They use their own money to buy business assets, pay for running costs, etc
2. They are responsible for putting right any unsatisfactory work, at their own expense and in their own time
3. They provide significant tools and equipment that are fundamental for their work
Different rules exist for certain types of work:
For some categories of work, there are different rules from the usual employment status ones for working out how tax and NICs should be deducted from their earnings.
These apply to workers who supply their services through an intermediary (sometimes referred to as IR35) and workers who supply their services through a managed service company.

Well BALPA have asked EasyJet this very question, and in the spirit of co-operation and engagement the company said we do not need to know this!
Safety
Our No. 1 priority – no compromises
Teamwork
We’ll get there faster together
Pioneering
Breaking the mould to find new ways and new opportunities
Passionate
We’re ambitious to be the best we can be
Integrity
We mean what we say, and do it

Apparently the Director of Safety (qualified Captain) was recently 'tripped in' to strike break in France.
I'm not sure which of the 'five pillars' apply to this action.....
Answers on a post card please.

Binder, is that the Director of Safety that flies once a week on a pleasant 2 sector day to get out the office, and who needs a training captain sat next to him?
That's a semi serious question.

Airbrake,
Semi serious answer.
Yes; And if I was doing the same I would want a trainer with me too.
But if I was going to break the law in another country as a Director of Safety I would sure as hell not go to Marrakech.
Always scope there for a cluster
