So you guys think belgium law is gonna allow you to continue to work there on an indefinate basis? When They got all those Belgian citizens out of work? Even if the EU says you are entitled to work, I am sure that corrupt government can come up with special taxes and licenses to keep Johny JMCer from working there.
And the flight deck would be able to do what? Steadfast refusal to implement jumpseat agreements would sure make it hard for some poor guy to commute from Manchester to Brussles inorder to work this job.
I hope it works out for you, but this screams of "upstreaming." Take the assets and profits out of one company, and spread em around the corporation with no regard for the people, blood, sweat, and tears that went into creating those assets in the first place.
Good luck, I hope it works out for you. First step is a reciprical jumpseat agreement.
