It seems most angles have already been covered here in previous replies. All I'll add is that I've flown both KLC and VLM. VLM have been a pleasure to work for. KLC were quite the opposite. Their appalling hospitality, manners and work ethic have left many of us scarred for life, quite literally. They should be ashamed of what they did to us, and for the damage they did to their own business (but I'd bet they feel nothing, and have learnt even less from the whole experience).
Just as with the AirUK 'harmonisation', management are initially 'very happy' with the deal. I wonder if they'll all be so happy when they are the first to go when after a year or so HQ at ANR is closed down? I guess we'll see...
I hope I'm being pessimistic here but having seen how KLM operate it's hard not to be... I just hope AF have a great deal more common sense and a better ability to deal with people, and I also hope they stay in charge of all this...
What a bl*+dy Christmas present... Just what I always wanted!!
