Topic: ALL NAC pilots threatened with sack!
31st August 2004
I have received a communication from the operator... It would appear this operator’s employees have obtained an equitable and legally acceptable format of employment. This PPRuNe thread has achieved it’s objective and in all fairness, is now locked. Feel free to open a new thread, but only if the conditions being offered to existing and new employees are not in accordance with Industrial Relations law.

It is more 7 months since it became law, and more than 2 months since the last significant comment on this topic. NOTHING NEW has happened about it at NAC. Despite promises to both his staff, and major contract customers, of an EBA and award back pay; HA has DONE nothing to indicate these words are anymore than that, words.
Staff are still getting payed little to work a lot, and open to who knows what sort of liability by flying for a travel agent, who call itself an airline, own there own plane, publicly advertise a schedule, but use NAC pilots as they don’t have an AOC, chief pilot, op’s manual or any of the airline infrastructure required to operate its aircraft.

The supposed EBA negotiations have been sitting in HA's court for 2 months now... and nothing!
There have been plenty of posts noting NAC’s loss of A/C and inability to pay bills... IF the company IS falling apart, it is the staff who will loose out before HA you can be sure of that.
Common' HA, you agreed on public record to an EBA and that staff would be receiving full back pay!
Are all your words meaningless and promises hollow? It's dragged on long enough, time to cough up.
