De telefoon staat niet stil bij de VNC en de e-mail inboxen lopen over bij alle secties, zo ook bij easyJet. We hebben de meest gestelde vragen op een rij gezet en beantwoord, in het Engels, zodat ze voor iedereen toegankelijk zijn.
We are receiving lots of queries in regards to leave, salary, parttime requests, rosters, re-current training and ancillary jobs. We understand that you have a lot of questions during these unprecedented times and to help you all out we have comprised a Q&A.

The Q&A will be updated to keep you all informed.

Rosters
