Calm Down Trev
You're displaying a dangerous level of knowledge here!
Said DPA rep did remove the words from his paperwork but, sadly for them, he was in a minority. Had they all done it, or at least more than the dozen or so that did, then you'd really be squealing now. The result would probably have been a short court case which would probably have found that the merging of the KA freighters into our own fleet was in fact a "Takeover" and thus should come under UK TUPE legislation.
So, why would you be squealing about that?
It would mean that not only would they be coming over as direct entry captains but they'd keep "DoJ" seniority!
Have a chat with any of the AOA reps involved with the negotiation and you'll probably find they have the same story.
