Shouldn’t the AOA be getting legal advice for its members?
1. COS 18 is silent about pilots and cabin crew having to spend days in quarantine at the behest of the company, even if the mandate to do so comes from the CHP. Since refusing a duty is a contractual breach, it is also incumbent that compensation should be paid for duties the ambit of which exceed the contract between the parties.
2. If pilots are getting infected whilst working for the company and it is demonstrable that the company has not taken sufficient steps to protect its workforce (unmasked cleaners, drivers abroad, whether or not under the control of the company) then there is a breach of the duty of care owed by an employer to his employees.
Two basic propositions. I’m no lawyer but common sense dictates these should be investigated. That’s what a union is for.
So who here believes the AOA be doing this, urgently?
