so there you have it what a can of worms!,seniority is a big issue but no responsible board of directors or insurance company would entertain Crossair crews being promoted almost overnight onto large aircraft it canīt be done; it can be achieved in time, and should be, but for the moment no easy solution in sight.. .. .As for the legal aspects,I feel the new company may decide upon whomever they wish as a social partner, the LX rebranding is a very tenuous argument, and remember we are in Switzerland where the law tends to bend according to who puts up the working capital not Crossair...one would face a long and exhausting court case to even hope for success in this scenario.. .. .So as before;a regional airline,sadly to be reduced as no SR capital injections anymore...and mainline the old Swissair who have already cut back sufficiently to provide a fair chance of success..itīs no use hoping for a merged list just before the s**t hits the fan,Seniority didnīt save the jobs of all the SR guys over 52 as it should have; remember ..in Switzerland the goalposts move quicker than anywhere else..the remnants of a feudal master- slave system are still in place.This CAN be worked out but it needs talent on ALL sides the negotiation skills required are largely unavailable..my advice for what itīs worth ..dig into your pockets and hire a professional from outside the country..good luck to all concerned.In the end if SR. stop flying for a day it would cost millions if crossair did the same the impact on the bottom line woul be negligable itīs all about money and aircraft size.
