Very interesting. For the last eighteen months or so LKH has been bleating on about a pilot shortage. To suddenly threaten layoffs - and
specifically mention flight crew as a target - is most intriguing.
To then go on and talk about EBA committees in the last paragraph seals it in my eyes. What's the only employee group with a yet-to-be-finalised EBA?
It's nothing more than a declaration of war on the pilots.
Until there is sufficient reserve coverage to deal with the daily disruptions that are a part of life in any airline, there are not enough crew. So they go from not enough pilots to suddenly having too many? Just wait until the schedule ramps back up to normal levels over the next month or so.
