Well, the Open Skies agreement made by the Chilean Governement pretty much facilitated what is happening in both countries, Chile and Peru.
LATAM booted more than 150 pilots in Chile and almost 120 pilots in Peru; none of these fired were furloughed or reduced by seniority, all of the pilots kicked out were revenge-booted due to their attitude not being Pro-Company; all of the pilots mentioned were unionized, had stood up one or many times defending their rights, not over-flying limits or claimed promised benefits.
But, on a lighter side, LATAM just pretty much handed the Chilean and Peruvian market on a silver platter to ULC carriers like Sky and JetSmart!
Really Dumb-ass move by snobby managers who belive they are God’s given gift to airline prosperity...
