Im sad that you think the union's efforts are misguided. To begin with, I find it more or less amazing that the union allowed contractors to fly Scandinavian production in the first place. The AGP base is fictional base and a cover up to fly Scandinavian production with cheaper labour. As of today, Norwegian has no routes (excluding HEL) from AGP that are non-Scandinavian.
The agreement from May this year stated that the company would be allowed to have to have contractors fly from Scandinavia in order to cope with anual leave during the summer. This exempt expired on the 1st of September and the company violated the agreement (not so surprisingly) immediately by keeping contractos on Scandinavian production. The company is forcing the union's hand by ignoring previously agreed terms. It is very unfortunate the the contractors get stuck in the middle of everything but the union is fighting for you guys to get permanent position since there is obviously a permanent need for pilots in Scandinavia. I fear that the conflict will escalate in the coming weeks...
