There are certainly a lot of worried pilots at my base. Big changes are due to occur on 1 NOV & there are huge concerns by the pilots on no end of topics, not least job security, pensions, bases, equal pay & terms & conditions. Our union (BALPA) called for this date to be put back due to Company stalling tactics during meetings but to no avail. This led me to believe there would be a ballot for industrial action to make the company treat our concerns with some respect, but with only weeks to go nothing has happened. Consequently a lot of us are very worried and are wondering what is going on, as there has been no news of any breakthroughs yet in any of the issues that are unacceptable to us! There is no wide-spread support for anything but industrial action from all the pilots I'm flying with & a lot are thinking of moving companies as they don't see a decent future for themselves in the new company!
Could you please show this misinformed info from the VNV/DALPA as I'm sure a lot of my colleagues would be interested in it?
