Tankengine, will the redundancies be in the area that the company is now finding itself surplus?
One part of that extension was that if any pilot was to be made redundant the over 55s were first to go!
Our company is now 180 pilots overstaffed according to management
but the young guys will be those that suffer!
Are you saying that your company is now about to breach an existing agreement? Go straight to court.
Even some to the extent of costing the company around $250K to endorse them on A380 for their last 2-3 years!
Most companies won't endorse a new type on a pilots licence if they can't give a minimum of three years return of service from the date of final line check onto the new type. $250K is nonsense, even $150K would be questionable for in-house training. How many conversions to type did Airbus offer with each new A380 airframe delivered?
You use terms like:
and
while others suffer
Do you really believe that? Anyone employed in mainline Australian aviation is on a pretty fair wicket.
