Thanks for your response...... it appears that the Airline had a contract with the Agency and another Agency paying exactly the same terms and conditions to the Agency. In all fairness to the Airline they feel that if they pay the Agencies the same that they will all pay the pilots the same. Not the case...... my friend. Some Agencies are greedier than others and in this case skimmed a bit more off the pilots salary for their fee whilst the other agency was more decent and because a more organised and professional company threw in some Insurances as well for good measure.........
Nice Agent. So therefore of course Pilot A wants to now work for the good Agency that Pilot B is with, because he will earn a bit more and get a few insurances and feel better about the whole thing. However Agency A says to Pilot A. tough
mate!! you have signed a letter of representation with us, ( albeit a long time ago) so you have to have the deal we are offering ....... now come on lads this MUST be illegal... Anyway whatever the situation is the Agencies now need us, so I suppose shop around, and DONT EVER sign letters of representation.... but just wanted to know the legalities of the whole thing...
