Both sides indicated a willingness at the talks to set up a working group to deal with the issues raised by pilots, which include base transfers, promotion, leave allocation and other areas covered by seniority.
However, Fórsa spokesman
Bernard Harbor said afterwards that they failed to agree terms of reference for this group, as both sides came up with conflicting proposals.
"Terms of reference" in other words the Company wanted anyone who agrees with them on the group and the union wanted anyone who disagrees with the Company.. Probably the Company also wanted members to use AVAC days to attend meetings and buy their own water at the meeting!
