CAA owning shares in companies they regulate

[AvionicsHippo]

Hi Abrahn,

thanks for the reply. My post was more general than the Connaughton example.
What you say about the NDA signed by a few representatives applies to everyone, hundreds of employees were made redundant at the drop of a hat. Shouldn't those being made redundant be given as much warning as possible that they might loose their jobs? How is it beneficial for employee representatives to know this ahead of time, but not to be able to tell other employees because they signed an NDA? How does the NDA benefit those that did not sign it, a collective right should not be signed away using an NDA.

in the Connaughton case, some chose not to accept the job that had been allocated
for them behind closed doors and rejected the transfers of employment. These employees found themselves unemployed with no notice, redundancy or warning, and lost £4200 each and they tried to claim at the Employment Tribinal.

Shouldn't all employees have been given an opportunity to have some sort of consultation over their careers, or be given fair warning changes were going to happen and given an option to take redundancy? The Employee Representatives and Union that signed the NDA took that option away from the other employees when they signed the NDA. How is that beneficial to everybody?

the issue I have, is why this industry generally goes pop so quickly, and administration takes place with no warning. The first thing employees know that they need to look for a new job, is when the snow plows are parked behind the aircraft. Why do we as airline employees not get consulted? Why is this the norm?

in the US, they have Chapter 11 insolvency measures where airlines continue to fly and shelter from creditors, while they make necessary changes and restructuring. The restructuring takes place with employees being engaged and informed.

Surely this is what should happen when the CAA takes over a company?
