directly employed pilots
once again all conjecture and speculation......
I happened across a rumour detailing the proposed schemes of financial savings to be introduced by NPAS over the next few years.
It intimates that NPAS directly employ pilots as a cost saving. I wonder if it would therefore be prudent that NPAS TUPE all directly employed pilots at commencement and then backfill with subcontracted/self employed pilots.
Can subcontracted pilots go back to their parent company's to be reassigned elsewhere????
Would that in effect negate a Nationwide/Europeanwide recruitment drive?????? Which would be a legality with the onset of a new National service.
Would it also negate redundancy packages/constructive dissmissal costings which have not been included in the supposed cost savings????
Please excuse me if i am being naive, I am just trying to understand the enormity of the turbulent journey ahead...
