Hi all,
Having read a bunch of stuff about these 2 airlines on Pprune, I must say I am confused about how these airlines hire and how that compares to US airlines.
Folks talk about "Brookshire contracts" and "Flexi crews"... what does all that stuff mean? Don't Ryanair and Easyjet just hire pilots and pay them? Like, I was hired at AA in 2000, and we are all part of one seniority list. No contracts, just the list. Seems like Ryanair/Easyjet have ten different seniority lists, not to mention all the different bases. I thought all Ryanair crews were Irish (being an Irish airline) and likewise, all Easyjet crews were British. Kind of like Aer Lingus and British Airways.
Can someone clear it up for me?
Thanks,
