Kurmitola, sorry about the typo meant to say KE not KL. I believe there are a large number of ex SQ captains with Korean Air because of superior remuneration and better working conditions.
Liam "I am unaware of any intention, or hint of intention, on the company's behalf to undertake such a folly."
Why should you be aware? Or do you now work in Nick's office?
I am merely describing a scenario that has surely been considered by the above gentleman. Believe me if he thinks he can get away with it then it will happen. Ironic really ASL getting the ASL mark 2 treatment.
Liam "However, the expansion of the base to include Captains in a timeframe consistent with a device to defeat the seniority list should, and I suggest, would, be met with a robust response similar to the recent "extendees" saga."
A device to defeat the seniority list! Wasn't that exactly the reason behind the formation of ASL in the first place? Does this statement mean that you now admit to making a mistake by joining ASL? Does it mean that you now understand that you and your fellow recruits helped the company defeat the seniority list?
If you do not admit/understand then please explain why it was acceptable for you all to join ASL then but recruiting regionally based, direct entry captains on to the freighter fleet is now totally unnacceptable.
I know it is wrong but am intrigued to discover that you now also think it is wrong. I guess that now you are through the gate it is a different story.
I am interested to see how the KA freighter saga is unfolding. Clearly the DPA has learnt from the past mistakes of the HKAOA.
