Autofeather, I’ll react to your points but I’m afraid it’s like peeing into the wind.
You are constantly twisting the facts. I’’l give it try

Management jobs and Training jobs etc being given to VNV members and not Balpa members.
This is simply not true. Every division will have two persons, one duth one british. This has been disseminated by NOTAC. If there is a lack of interest of british pilots klm can't help that but in the mean time there are plenty british pilots working in the office
VNV insisting that a minimum number of UK pilots will leave each year (and have a written agreement to guarantee these numbers will depart which is being stuck to by KLM).
This is true and not true. The deal was made when buzz as still around and it was understood that pilots would flow through to Buzz. NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR VNV HAS ENFORCED THAT RULE. NOBODY HAS BEEN FORCED TO LEAVE!!!!

Refusal by KLM to recognise a current UK agreement for type equipment change at base (to 737). In doing so rebasing of all UK pilots with the associated moves for them and their families.
Dude, what planet are you living on. You work for an airline, changes happen all the time.I would love to live in Nice, maybe I can start an industrial action to force KLM to base a B737 there, YEAH RIGHT

Restrictions on promotion to Captain for KLCuk pilots on a 2:1 ratio (2 KLM to 1 UK).
This is a prime example of twisting the facts. Before the integration there were only 70 captain slots on the fokker 100. So if no integration would have taken place and UK would not have expanded that would have been the total number of captains on the FK100. Now, due to the integration those slots have actually increased because any expansion, the new slots created where awarded 2:1. seems fair to me as the ration KLC/UK FK70/FK100 was 2:1. Now as you wellknow, and here you are twisting the facts, due to training difficulties with KLC, more slots than would have been awarded based on 2:1 where given to UK pilots.
Keep up the ranting and you will even loose the support of pilots sympathetic to your case
greetings
