Thanks kick the tires. The package is so derisory I had to ask the question. A shame these new base t's and c's don't have the same conditions as other European contracts. The race to the bottom continues...

It's an appallingly bad contract, approx 40% less than the previous Spanish contract.
One of the most disturbing conditions is the 60% sick pay from day 1.

These crews will no doubt trip through other bases as the cheapest option.
The local management will retain their juicy Euro/UK contracts.
The greed at the top will continue whilst those at the coal face sweat it out...
But there will be takers.

Why apply "just for the experience"? That doesn't sound a good place to start from, especially if you already have a better gig?
And then, you'd be up against x,000's of "desperados" (sic), who may actually be hungry for the job.
Sounds like a waste of time.

Lis is a great city and you can really enjoy it. Fantastic food, weather and people. The problem is that the ezy contract is quite poor, taxes are very high so your take home is really low(as a captain you make a lot less that an f/o in italy, france or germany). There is a constant flow of pilots leaving and joining because of this, morale is quite low too.
If you join you will be freeze in Lis for five years so forget to get a transfer, even after those five years the transfer isn't guaranteed because "there aren't replacements for your position available".
This is the new way of employing people in easyjet, so the race to the bottom continues, this isn't the great company to work for as it used to be and, looking at this management that is just worried about their bonuses, it will not improve.

Superconstellation is right, the food is gorgeous in Portugal, people are really nice and respectfull, LIS is a nice city, and...easyjet has become a rubbish airline, thanks to CTC Aviation, the cancer of aviation.

Thanks all.
It's hard to find an airline these days where (office) management care about anything other than their own pockets! (I would say none)
Pilots vs management like dogs vs cats (I believe we're the cats) 🐱
Take it easy

737 Jockey,
Where is the £86,000 salary quoted? I couldn't see that in the FI advert and on the easyJet careers site, it talks of OTE £114,000.
I'm a bit confused. Is this a new, lower pay scale for DEC?
Admittedly, I am type rated and a current captain. So, not sure if that changes things?

Hi MonkeyFerret,
"Captain A320 Type Rated - Gatwick 2015/16 (04091)
Description
Permanent Contract
£114,022 OTE"
That is a GBP £ sign that is on the website. I am not too Apple Mac savvy, but that is a direct cut/paste from their website.
I am fairly certain it should be the same type of UK contract, as it is for existing pilots.
