Sorry Autofeather, I couldn’t resist(little bit of sarcasm is intended). Below is a translation witch I made to the best of my ability. I believe it is fairly accurate.

Si nous allons faire ceci dans la langue de notre employeur peut-être devrions-nous la faire en français ?

Hi Flyburg

Thanks for making the post and translation of the VNV statement, I am pleased to note that it is indeed a very good translation – I could not have done nearly half as well myself.

I’m afraid my reply is going to disappoint you though.

Indeed the statement backs up what almost everyone here has been saying, this is a fight for the KLCuk pilots terms and conditions and it is therefore between KLCuk pilots (Balpa) and KLCuk/KLC and KLM. It is not a fight between Balpa and the VNV and I am pleased that both the VNV and Balpa can see eye to eye on this issue and indeed that the VNV seem to be publicly supporting the case of Balpa.
