Why am I the only one getting angry about this? There is no protection for the British workforce in any of this.
I don't think this is covered only in this doc. Firstly, the UK airline will need to meet the conditions of its UK AOC - that will be down to the CAA. Secondly, unlesss there is an exemption I've not seen, aircrew will be subject to the same restrictions on working in the UK as any other non-UK national. Who flies the SWG a/c that TUI have used for years?
