IF what Nil f is stating is indeed the company’s intention, where does that leave the pilots already on "UK" contracts at "European" bases?? Do they have the law on their side to change existing contracts?? Imagine an FO sitting on "old" contract in Milan with captain on "new" one..... Who knows how big the split will be, but it could potentially add some interesting aspects to CRM....
Looks like it's REALLY time for BALPA, AND the pilots not already in BALPA, to get their act together and start pulling some weight in this company, or else the battle will be lost and we'd all better start looking for new jobs.....
