Jack pot;
DY is expanding and in constant need of pilots but not nescesarilly cpt 's for12 months a year. During summer there is, as we all know, a higher need for pilots but you are also entitled (according to Norwegian law) to a period of 21 days holiday between May and Sept. Those positions has to filled during this period. If all those contractors covering seasonal needs should be permanently employed the company would probably be quite a bit overstaffed during winter.
Yes Norway is funny world but as an employee in Norway you have RIGHTS and DY has a union and a collective agreement, compared to FR. Even the FO's are looked after. Upgrades are according to seniority and quite a few FO's are waiting for upgrade. Would it be fair if they all were bypassed by direct entry cpt's?
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!
Exactly. Of course not!. What if the guy/girl is a complete muppet? And again, seasonal needs as described above.
Contract captains has been flying for DY for years without any offerings from DY about permanent employment.
For years?? could you please elaborate?
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.
The contract offered by FR is way different from the one in DY. When requiering a pilot to start a limited company consisting of three boardmembers including yourself and two others, who can be your grandmother or basically anyone alive, then it's kind of fishy. You are also requiered to use one of the listed tax advisors approved by Brookfield/FR who charge you a pecentage of your gross salary. You are not on duty when positioning and you are also deducted 4,5 €
pr scheduled block hour for your recurrent training.
Norway is a small country and the taxman will be on your doorstep not very long after your first tax return if he can sense the smell of money in your mattress
