Gearpins Stowed,
I think that most of us have communicated to our collegues on the KLM contract as much as we can, but unfortunatly we are not yet allowed to be VNV members so cannot post on your forum there, we are not allowed access to myklm.com (another discrimination point) so we cannot communicate there, the BALPA forums are closed to non members, we do not have your individual addresses so we cannot write to you.
So apart from public forums and word of mouth when we work together what do you suggest????
All the BALPA members were sent out flyers this week it reads :
Former Air UK pilots (now employed by KLM Cityhopper uk) are in dispute with
the Company having been discriminated against by at least the following means:
pay rates, pension arrangements, base closures, block on recruitment, restriction on Command upgrades and access to management posts, lack of recognition of past service in the KLM Group.
Without recruitment into KLCuk, our Company will not exist for our youngest pilot to achieve retirement age.
As we now fly with KLM colleagues we see our only means of continuing our careers is with KLM contracts awarded on fair and reasonable terms.
same cockpit = same contract
To KLM Staff: - We have enjoyed working with you indirectly for many years and look forward to more years as closer colleagues. We thank you for your support.
To KLC UK Pilots: vote YES to
END DISCRIMINATION
SECURE YOUR CAREER
SECURE YOUR FUTURE
