Bluebird Cargo lays off all its unionized pilots

Bluebird Cargo just laid off all their pilots that are members of the Icelandic Pilots Union and have a collective agreement, because "they are by far the highest paid pilots in the company, to increase the company's competitiveness" as it was put in their announcement to the media in Iceland. The affected pilots are from 5 countries, Iceland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. The airline was recently acquired by Avia Solutions Group that also owns Smartlynks Airlines and Avion Express.

Unfortunetely I havenīt found the announcement in English yet
