In the Christchurch press today...
Pilots been negotiating since August 2005
On strike work to rule since February, not returning to work on their days off to cover for their sick colleagues.
Airline has cancelled 270 flights
Bargaining now to go to Employment Relations Authority for facilitated bargaining for 'fresh talks'.
Tell me please what difference will this make to the entrenched position that the company has made? Will they now give in to the pilots demands?
Asymetric Pete says "the dispute is about pay and training" also says "its a philosophical debate in negotiations" Philosphical what....does that mean money and giving the pilots the same as other Air New Zealand pilots?
O'Regan would not say how much the dispute had cost the airline. Is it more than the pilot claims? Is it Air New Zealand that is pulling the strings nd why do they want to screw their most productive pilots? Fyfe the knife is rife.......
