Pilots for easyJet have warned customers will turn their backs on the airline following "unprecedented chaos", reports say. A letter from the easyJet branch of the French SNPL pilots’ union said that the airline has cancelled viable flights.
The letter reportedly said that easyJet is suffering “operational meltdowns” after bosses failed to heed staff warnings about surging demand. The letter, seen by the i paper, comes after chaotic scenes at airports over half-term, with delays and cancellations hitting family holidays.
In the letter, the pilots also warn the chaos has not reached its peak - calling it a “frightening prospect”. The pilots raised the issue of stress caused by the pandemic and subsequent disruption on air crews, calling for extra support and saying “mental health is at stake”.
