EasyJet’s 1K bonus | Is money the financial incentive we really think it is?

New and existing cabin crew working for the low-cost airline EasyJet are set to be offered a £1,000 bonus at the end of the summer holiday season, the BBC reports.

The airline has reportedly said that the payments would acknowledge the contribution of crew members in what it anticipates to be a busy summer period.

The news of these bonuses at EasyJet come as airlines are competing to attract, recruit and retain top talent.

According to the BBC, the aviation industry cut thousands of jobs during the coronavirus pandemic, and now airports and airlines have been trying to recruit staff for months as they prepare for a busy summer ahead following the ending of travel restrictions.
