efcop, Saab Driver and other LX fans. It does not matter whether you and CCP are correct in your thinking or not. If you decide to strike it will be back to ops normal again - a Regional airline ie you and SWISS, consisting of the rump of the old Swissair. The big money boys have decided, they WANT Swissair under the guise of SWISS, not Crossair. You are correct in saying that it was Swissair that went bankrupt, BUT, this was not due to the airline operations being unprofitable, but because of inept management and advisors, investing in basket case airlines rather than in the strengths of Swissair. Why do you think that the Swiss government was prepared to sink so much money into Swissair to keep it going through the winter and twisted so many arms to get the necessary finance in place to get SWISS up and running before Summer? To create a bigger Crossair or for a rebirth of Swissair under a new name? The events of the last few days gives you the answer! Moritz Suter who was against this plan was, together with his board, unceremonously dumped because at the end of the day the only thing that counts is profit. A strike by the Swissair pilots is a bigger threat to profits than one from Crossair pilots.. .. .Regarding seniority. There is never an easy solution to this dilema, just ask any pilot who has been through a takeover or merger in the past. CCP and Dose have always maintained that any new company will be an enlargement of Crossair and therefore the Swissair pilots will be "joining" at the bottom. Aeropers were never likely to accept that and if they are any kind of union (debatable) they should not either. Crossair did not pay one rappen for Swissair they were given it by friendly bankers - gratis. Aeropers and it appears Mr Bouw and company regard SWISS as a new company made up of Swissair and Crossair, with each group flying their own equipment in the future. With this in mind the solution is fair. Hard on you perhaps but perhaps you were too optimistic in the first place.. .. .This whole sorry affair over the past 6 months has been handled appallingly by all concerned from management to banks to BOTH Unions. It is a pity that Aeropers and CCP could not have united and got a satisfactory solution for all concerned instead of taking cheap shots and trying to marginalize each other at every opportunity.
