Ask Martinair guys how well it works out when there is a direct conflict between your company and KLM and you are both in the same union The KLM members will always choose their own best interest (as most of us would do) and always outnumber you.
All just my humble option ofcourse
And extremely flawed as both companies are actually owned by AF-KLM. EasyJet is a competitor.
In this case the VNV would have every motive to fight for T&C's that are good, as improved/comparable T&C's for easyJet crew will directly lead to a smaller competitive edge that easyJet would have over KLM/transavia. Which would be in the interest of KLM/transavia crews future T&C's.
I think all KLM pilots will realise that KLM has zero ability to drive easyJet out of the market, they already tried that and failed. Its not a company that will go bankrupt anytime soon. And the damage it can do to the business of KLM could be substantial on their shorthaul business market.
There is a reason that easyJet pilots are united in BALPA, SNPL, ANPAC, SEPLA (before mad closure) and APPLA.
