Ok student pilot, finish your training and then see what happens.
When we are talking about "our jobs" we are talking about pilots, not students.
warmkitter, I think we agree on most things, your jobs etc, fight for it.
But its, as you say, unfair to fail good pilots on the screening, but of course its unfair by LH to start a selection while still talking to the union.
Get an agreement, do a selection and then hire pilots, if able, but dont make others a victim of this war.
I wish you a lot of luck on your fight, but I guess you understand that I hope that it will be possible to hire pilots on LHITA, as you hope for the opposite.
Just remember, that most companies in italy pay much better than LH does,
so LHITA cant just pay peanuts, they have to pay almost the same like LH does.
