Barney, latest update, as of Monday. There was a strike ballot, with a massive vote in favour. At the second meeting with ACAS, right at the last minute, the company conceded some, but not all, of the points in dispute. A ballot resulted in a majority in favour of the company's offer, so the industrial action is off. Blue pilots have another week to decide whether they wish to move to yellow, but have five years to actually make the move. Yellow pilots who had not opted by the end of Nov, cannot go to blue. The two companies are now officially split, yellow is still KLMuk, operating as buzz, blue fleet is now KLCuk. Not a perfect situation, and it will rumble along for many years, but probably as good as the pilots could get. At least everyone is in a job, although perhaps not the one they would like to be in.
