I will have more details later , or tomorrow, but basically it appears that the Union the HEL pilots had the foresight to join, prior to this debacle, wasn't to NAS/NAR/Whatevers liking . . . no doubt courtesy of the fact that they have already forged a good working relationship with NPU/BALPA/SEPLA etc, and they have refused to negotiate with them.
Somehow, 3 "individuals" at HEL base have been "encouraged" to form another "Union"
which NAR have been quick to deal with & make a sensible offer.
Anyone familiar with the Ryanair "Direct negotiation with employees" scenario must be feeling a sense of deja vu here.
