Obviously, the regional pilots are not the only ones to be unhappy with the Swiss management.
Aeropers (former Swissair Pilots) is now threatening Swiss of undertaking legal steps against the company if it does not reduce quickly the number of managers, directors, EVPs and other people burdening the overhead's costs…
Aeropers signed an agreement with Swiss, according to which the revisor KPMG provides Aeropers on a regular basis with a check upon management loans, bonuses, incentives and so on.
Aeropers feels that for the sake of the company's much needed turnaround, the management should sacrifice at least as much as the pilots did, i.e. a 7,2% pay decrease.
Lately, a list of 300 managers to be sacked has been rejected by the Board of Directors, arguing it was too many at one time. 150 would be enough, said the Board.
