Ok, here's the translation:

52 of 72 BSL based SB20 pilots have been suspended from their flying duties, after signing a letter that stated pressure from management to be sacked is too big and this could lead to safety problems.

They are now being assessed in their capability of conitinuing their duties. I myself know very well what this means: endless talks and tests with psychologists and Aeropers biased ops managers, with the sure result that they are not capable of flying anymore (irrespective of the psychological test's results): An easy way of getting rid of those surplus pilots.

At least one of the union boards member also signed the letter, so let's see what happens.

One further step to the goal of a Crossair-free Swiss - last one please switch off the light.
