The purpose is to get as many people as possible. I dont see any reason agaisnt having the AAE crew in the forum. Their conditions are not the same as ours but they are still flying for the same boss !
The more people getting through the forum the better. I have been told that the crew cost for AAI represent only 2% of the total revenue of the company. You have to take into consideration that in a normal airline, crew cost are around 10 to 15%.
That means that they have a huge potential to negociate. As we expend, it is the time to react and make them understand that we are no longer guinea pigs !!!
See below what was posted by "wassup" on the Air Atlanta upgrade forum !!!
The union already exists!!! It is my impression that most of Air Atlanta pilots have over the years been mislead to believe that FFF is the only pilot union in Iceland. FFF, the so called union that represent most, between 50-70, of the Icelandic and Scandinavian pilots within Air Atlanta, is not the only pilot union in Iceland. Air Atlanta dictates who and how many pilots are members of FFF at any given time....
The Icelandic Airline Pilots Association however,a member of IFALPA, ECA and NTF, is totaly indipendent and represents pilots from every airline and operator in Iceland including Icelandair and Islandsflug, even one pilot from Air Atlanta.
The upcoming merger between Islandsflug and Air Atlanta presents an ideal opportunity for Air Atlanta pilots to join the contract Islandsflug has with the Icelandic Airline Pilots Association and probably the best of all our little friend Jerry O´Sullivan has nothing to do or comes nowhere near that contract.
