I just read this from BALPA,the LGW operation will be flying under a UK AOC, alleviating possible license issues.
They have confirmed that the recruitment of pilots will be conducted by OSM using the applications from their website.
NAA have recruited a HR manager for the UK and starts with NAA on the 1st May. BALPA already enjoys a good professional working relationship with OSM and NAA have committed to opening social dialogue in May. We can fully expect that both BALPA and Unite (cabin crew union) will enter union recognition with NAA shortly after.
