Agreements that are discriminatory.......
One mans "discriminatory" agreement, is another man's agreement "to prevent the employer exploiting cheap, contract overseas labour"
therefore KLM should, if it was honourable, approach the VNV
....Bingo!!!! There you have it! KLM should approach the VNV. BALPA should leave KLM no option but to approach the VNV. And that is what is happening now, thankfully.
Cuillin,
If you are looking for an example of how a takeover should be done then look at British Airways buying out of Cityflyer
Am not fully up to speed on this, but did the cityflyer captains carry their commands across to BA? and do cityflyer pilots not have to go through the full application and selection process to get into mainline?
These are some of the matters arising right now in the KLM/UK mess.
