easyJet. Having a laugh.
 

Easyjet looking for Captains for 6 months, based in Basle.

Works out at 4500 GBP a month.

I thought they were talking about FO's............

That seems to be a bunch more money than what a Wizz Captain earns.

It depends dear Wiggly.

Not on my contract.

But, your race to the bottom ideals are well enshrined in easyJet now. Here come the UK contract Captains soon.

..thats around 4900 euros...for a Commander? or for a monkey?.. .not even enough to pay food for a monkey...not to mention for a human being...:yuk:
pay peanuts and the flight deck will be a gage for ......
Do those :mad: from this island, obviously their own pockets full of money, have any idea about the real world....have they heard anything about at least "fair pay".....
...that happens if you eat mint sauce and meat, and drink warm beer :O

Oh, Wiggly. I forgot to say that is GROSS pay....

That salary is a combination of sad and disgusting. I work for neither EasyJet or WizzAir. I just read the posts by the pilots. It appears that terms like "airline employee Captain and First Officer" are quickly becoming a thing of the past? From just what I read in these posts on this website, it may be safe to say that the First Officer position is similar to an amusement park ride (please, no disrespect intended) and the Captain position is being outsourced to contract agencies. Is the future to have zero pilot employees, but simply have contractors?

I guess due to its location this position will come under the auspices of Easy Suisse so BALPA will have an excuse not to get involved. :ugh:

"Messy business old boy pass the mint sauce". . . indeed

For the second time in as many months Easy are pronounced Limbo Dancing champions.

Uncle Wiggily you are spot on. It is easyJets managment dream to eventually have only contractors on Z scale T and C's, with pay to fly monkeys in the RHS.

A number of years ago the directors commissioned the Berger report which actively encourages the use of contractors as a way of de unionising the workforce, and reducing T and C overall. Combine that with the general apathy amongst easyJet pilots, who either believe it doesn't affect them, or are too scared even of their own shadow to stand up to management, and you can see why we are doomed.

Stansdead , your source for this information is ???

A link would be greatly appreciated or is this just hearsay and rumour ?

Get your facts right!
 

Stansdead, your valued input is as always way off the mark!

The details that PAS Aviation gave me are:

CHF 7550 per month gross, plus CHF 1000 per month end of contract bonus which is £ 5358 assuming that you stay the 5 or 6 months of the contract!

There is also an accommodation allowance of CHF 1500 per month! Put this all together and that makes about £ 6300!

But as someone once said, never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

One day you might have something positive to add to the threads you contribute to (but i doubt it somehow)

Isn't the contract posted on PAS website for a central european A320 loco? I took this to be Wizz air, not ezy swizz.

Dont forget that on the 7550 CHF you will get taxes to pay.
In switzerland they are deducted from your salary when you are not resident, it varies according to your yearly earning so first month it s almost nothing but after 2 or 3 month it rise to around 20%...

7500 -20% = 6000 chf (4176 euros)

And also if they obey the swiss laws you have also to pay for the social security...

ezy swiss ???? doesn't sound so:

Area of Operations ...........World wide, Except Iraq & Afghanistan

Highflyer

and those pathetic sums add up to a good 6 month contract in your world?

....is already removed. life-cycle 2 max 3 days.
So:
...it was just a fake?
... the job is cancelled?
.. or 1000 desperate captains, scratching the PAS's door ? :ugh:

Or sponsored by airlines to drive T& C's down!

Missing another point!!
 

There are many SFO's, me included waiting for an upgrade in at EZS. The waiting list was already about 5-8 years as it runs a seniority list for promotion,
dead mans shoes. Three new aircraft this year, and only a handful of internal upgrades...the whole thing stinks!

Why does it stink? This thread sounds like a bit of BS, but that aside, do you think that it's your automatic right to have a command? :=

why? Because you might have to wait another year or so, or perhaps end up with a whole 5000 hours, before you get a command?
Its interesting how people can acknowledge that the world economy is in meltdown, that aviation is suffering badly and people are losing their jobs left right and centre. But they simply cannot accept that it might just spoil their own plans a little bit!

Why don`t you just accept that you have a job that is in one company that is about as secure as you can get in these appalling times. If that proves too difficult then try reading a few threads away from your own little world.

Just a few years ago easyJet was promoting F/Os with levels of experience never seen before in the history of aviation. They were good guys and gals but such rates of growth could never be sustained regardless of the recession!

FACT: There are NOT 1000's of unemployed A320 Captains in Europe.

Especially not for such poor money......

Why don't we all stop talking down the terms and conditions in our industry, accept that the World economy is actually getting better now and stick our necks out for 1/2 way decent money?

For a 6 month contract, this was an insulting joke.:mad:
