smellster 27th Mar 2009 16:35


smellster - care to copy and paste the pm. I'd love to read it. Or send it to my PM. I could do with a laugh
I posted it earlier but a helpful moderator must have taken it down for a being a tad rude maybe. His/her/it's PM was something along the lines of suggesting I'd like to smell her red haired furry friend down below, but I wouldn't be allowed to because she has a boyfriend.

Made me laugh anyway.

"The management knows what to do. You are not managers, you just don't have a f.ckin clue about how to manage such a company. Do trust them, and give them many thanks because without A.H and the other managers, we would all be without jobs"

I friend of mine whom is working with Easy, told me , your managers have hedged the fuel at 90 $ !!!:ugh:

I think it s because those F**CK**G morons , Easy wants to do some peanuts saving !:mad:

Ps All of these dick heads ,took their bonus :hmm:

Way to go Clara!
 
Clara, please do NOT give it a rest.
The humorous reactions you are raising from your posts has made this one of the best threads ever.

The Flying Cokeman 27th Mar 2009 18:29

Astronaute,

$90 I wish :\ No the management hedged at $115 for 60% of 2008/09 year :ugh:

I am sure if the management had hedged at $90 we would have seen more payrises for AH and his leutenant this year. They have just given each other a nice little 10% and 20% payrise respectively plus many free shares too :uhoh:
I guess the annual saving of £400.000 by removing some of our crewfood, coffee and water etc. has to cover their payrise :mad:

I am absolutely disgusted :eek:

Join BALPA and ballot for strike action, simple

jetjockey737 27th Mar 2009 23:34

egcc

ballot for strike action over what exactly...the loss of tea and coffee. Can you imagine how they would make that look in the press!!!

Not having a go, i agree with you, but from a practical standpoint I think it may prove quite difficult....Contract captains on the other hand, that may work as a reason!!

Cyberstreak 28th Mar 2009 09:44

Well, then you're up in arms soon. They are coming.
Whoever is not a Balpa member yet, this is your last chance to
make a difference. And no excuses not to join please, there aren't
any that are serious enough.

CS

stakeknife 28th Mar 2009 14:38

I agree, guys and girls, no matter what your opinion on BALPA, it is the only collective medium we have so join up and and lets drive the wooden footed one outta town before it is too late.

JPHIL68 28th Mar 2009 16:04

And just a question but do you have holidays in jluly and in august at easy this year:suspect::suspect::suspect::suspect:

ZBMAN 29th Mar 2009 17:19

:E You are well informed my friend, very well informed:E

clanger32 30th Mar 2009 13:44

I'm not particularly into 'bashing' anyone, even if their manner is a bit *ahem* suspect, however I did just [in a moment of boredom] decide to check up on FCs history.
The following thread is the first the search facility shows her as having posted on....http://www.pprune.org/spanish-forum/...-valencia.html
Reading through this, we can see that in early March 2007, FC was unclear where to go and start ab initio training, whereas by November 2007, she had started training "somewhere else". So, given average integrated course time of around 15 months, EVEN if she had researched (assuming she did research!) and found another flight school AND been able to start less than a month later she would only have graduated between July 2008 and January 2009. And this at a time when certainly in the UK there was about a four month wait before you could hope to start an integrated course.....I know, given I started in Aug 07.

Draw your own conclusions whether graduating in July 08 would have seen her able to get onto any ATP scheme with EZY, or whether that ratifies anything.

FC - genuinely not trying to shoot you down, hell - I'm newly qualified with no hope of a job currently [or more precisely, back in my old job, thankfully and earning a nice sum] - so I know what it's like, but might help your credibility if you explained these discrepancies...

HighHeeled-FA 30th Mar 2009 15:44

clanger32,

the discrepancies were explained.

Her boyfriend's the training Captain! :p

Centreline747 30th Mar 2009 16:16

I've been in this industry too long to get involved with a slagging match, albeit very amusing, so come on now all of you - enough is enough. :=
Leave the poor girl alone.

But then again maybe she should be known as 'Lying Clara' :E:E

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
Phantom being the operative word :ok:

flipster 30th Mar 2009 17:12

Wot! Is she an F4 driver as well?

Centreline747 30th Mar 2009 21:28

Come on then Clara, we're waiting; keep the entertainment going ;) ;)

one post only! 31st Mar 2009 08:44

Just think Kick, if you are lucky it might be your turn soon!

Although rather than some hot little spanish girl I am convinced "she" will turn out to be some short portly manager from H89 with a slight hygiene issue out to try and con the troops into a reduction of T&C's by making it clear that if we don't accept it there are lots of people desperate to!

Maybe not what you really want!!! You can just picture the moment as "she" shouts SHOW ME THE BONUS, SHOW ME THE BONUS. Passion killer or what!

BitMoreRightRudder 31st Mar 2009 09:06


short portly manager from H89 with a slight hygiene issue
I can think of a few training captains in scouseland who might go for that mate. In fact there are probably a few SFOs aswell!

:}:eek:

green-dot-speed 16th Apr 2009 17:44

1 year in the holding pool now.....I am wondering why they made so many assessments last year...

Happy landings
G.D.S.

vega130 16th Apr 2009 20:43

Being in the holding pool for almost a year as SFO and my present contract expiring in July...not a nice situation to cope with!! Maybe my expectation for Easy were a bit too high? :confused:

The Flying Cokeman 16th Apr 2009 21:45

Green dot,

A year ago EZY was expecting to upgrade 150 captains and recruit +400 copilots for 2009, unfortunately things changed quickly afterwards :\

Doug the Head 17th Apr 2009 01:06


Maybe my expectation for Easy were a bit too high? :confused:
Too high? Nope, they were not low enough! :hmm:

seasexsun 17th Apr 2009 08:44

I also know 2 guys that have been waiting for a long time now. They see 200 hours CTC cheap cadets taking their jobs, and that make them mad :rolleyes:

captplaystation 17th Apr 2009 12:24

Only two things in life smell like fish. . . . . . and one of them is fish :D

Have to ask the TC boyfriend what the other one is ;)

JPHIL68 17th Apr 2009 15:32

No com from easy for us in the holding pool so you know what to do?

tell at all you r friends to take ba or af or another airline for holidays or buisnees but not easy:mad:

Frankly Mr Shankly 17th Apr 2009 15:58

I know it's frustrating for us hold pool types, however surely it's better if more people, not less, fly Ezy, the busier the airline, they may need more crews and who knows, even us lowly TRSS may, just MAY get a look in. One's thing for sure, if Ezy pax figures drop as you suggest, there ain't any hope whatsoever.

Akrapovic 17th Apr 2009 15:59


tell at all you r friends to take ba or af or another airline for holidays or buisnees but not easy:mad:
Nice attitude from someone in the hold pool.

I'll expect you'll soon change your tune should you get an offer in the post anytime soon . . . .

JPHIL68 18th Apr 2009 12:04

You still believe in santa claus men:E:E:E:E:E:E:E:E:E:E

With comments like that I think you should loose your place in the hold pool to a more worthy candidate.

Its not a very orange comment to make. Strikes of petulant child ! :cool:

JPHIL68 20th Apr 2009 07:37

Loose my place in the holding pool.......and not a very ange comment....men are you dreaming too...norecruitement from holding pool for this year and then after 24 months ...go to garbage....
easyjet looks like a big ig joke at this time and to behonest i really don t knw if it s a good place to work for the future.....

your friendly napoleon bonaparte:E:E:E

That's obviously your opinion Phil, yet looking at the number of threads regarding applications for other airlines, maybe there's a reason why you're not getting any job offers?

If you PM me your details, I'm sure recruitment will be interested in your comments, and I'll see fit get you taken off the Hold Pool list to create a space for someone that sees their future at easyJet.

HundredPercentPlease 20th Apr 2009 08:05

Or, just to be sure, we'll remove all frenchmen born in 1968...

JPHIL68 20th Apr 2009 12:54

My lovely english friend's for your informations i'm not more interested by easyjet regarding the poor HR department...ad to be complely honest i m completly disappointed with easy so i have a great life at this moment and i made a different choice ... so stay in your isle and if you like the orange it s your choice but try to be realistic.....so enjoy the sun in england with no holidays with easy :ok::ok::ok:


end of messages regarding easy, goodluck for non uk peoples in the pool:ok:

Akrapovic 20th Apr 2009 17:32

Hmmm, I suppose McDonald's aren't bad employers . . good for you.

Remember, it's a 'Royale' with Cheese on the continent and if you stay all day, you get ALL the stars.

Bon chance Phil!

nuageblanc 20th Apr 2009 17:46

Why Mac Donalds ? Why are we stupid when we tell the truth ? Jean-Phillippe has been very badly treated with the orange low cost, what he says is hard for you guys, but he is talking about true facts.
I have always suggested to go to main airlines (BA, AF, LH, etc...), this is real aviation and we have food and coffee and water and sodas all the time, as much as we want :ok:



Bonne chance
Try to learn French properly instead of showing us your lack of knowledge, bloody rosbif :oh:



Guillaume :O

Akrapovic 20th Apr 2009 18:02

While I sympathise with Phil's position, times are tough, and unfortunately the hold pool is rather full at this time. Be patient and everyone gets there in the end.

What I find wholly unacceptable, is Phil's attitude to a company he sits in the hold pool with. Publically encouraging people to boycott an airline who (at one stage I presume) he wanted to join - (it's no walk in the park to get in with easyJet) just serves to outline that his attitude when faced with a situation that doesn't suit him, is hardly becoming of a professional pilot.

Good luck to all those swimming right now, but Phil's approach to a rather long dip in the pool is akin to throwing his toys out of the preverbial pram.

[BTW Nuageblanc, don't pick me up on my spelling when you can't even spell 'McDonalds' correctly!)

Akrapovic, you obviously have no idea about either EZY or it's 'stafftravel.' Even a lot of employees don't even fly their own airline, because the competition is cheaper. Go figure... :rolleyes:


Hmmm, I suppose McDonald's aren't bad employers . . good for you.
So then why are you so desperately trying to defend the 'McDonalds of Aviation?' They will just treat you like sh!t, squeeze as many block hours out of you as legally possible, and after 5-10 years when you're burned out, they'll have no problem to replace you with the next happy-to-flip-burgers eager beaver who happens to be in the holding pool. Just like that famous Scottish restaurant... ;)

Loyalty and respect are supposed to be a mutual thing, in EZY it's a one way street.

nuageblanc 20th Apr 2009 18:27


Nuageblanc, don't pick me up on my spelling when you can't even spell 'McDonalds' correctly
sorry mate, I can't....however I can spell La Tour d'Argent, Le Bristol or Taillevent... but nous n'avons pas les même valeurs ;)

Akrapovic 20th Apr 2009 20:39

Well, I've never seen such a bunch of bitter and twisted job seekers on one thread . . .

Good luck chaps - I think you'll need it :ok:

Gary Lager 20th Apr 2009 20:43

Who says we're all job seekers?
