Initially the company will be pleased. It is all a ploy to break the union and operate a semi-low cost operation by having its pilot eventually on individual contracts. I know of 2 maybe more that have been offered `stuff` in return for opting out of the union. Ek has its arms wide open for AirPac drivers according to the head honcho for recruitment over there, so last one to leave Nososo road please turn off the lights. EK by the way want to double its fleet from 76 aircraft and more that double its driver numbers by 2010...keep discovering!
