DY Contractors - Not comparable at all in this picture. What happens here is that DY Contractors are employed by PARC (A real, serious company) during their probationary months, and then offered permanent employment with the airline upon termination of probation. The probationary period counts as temp. employment well within Norwegian law.
Well if this is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, DY is the first airline in the world where you have to fly as commander (pilot on probation) for 6 months before you automatically transfer to a position as permanently employed first officer. What a funny world you have in Norway.
Is it stated in the contract with Parc, that the 6 months of service is a probation period, and once the Parc contract terminates, then you automatically transfer to a permanent contract with DY? Of course not!
Contract captains has been flying for DY for years without any offerings from DY about permanent employment. If there is a real need for pilots, why not employ the pilots right away on a permanent contract - instead of this contract chaos.
As said before, it certainly looks like we have a case of severe patriotism here. For some reason FR is always treated as the black sheep in their class. I do agree that they have some questionable policies, but they are not the only ones! DY is exactly as creative as FR when it comes to using contractors and thereby optimizing their crewcosts compared to other airlines. An investigation into tax fraud should include not only FR but certainly also DY.
Btw.. the only ones who can ruin the T/C for pilots, are the pilots themselves. And they have been good at it lately. Always someone who will fly for food!
