The HEL permanent contract is still not finalised. Version 2.5 is due very soon. There were many holes in V2.0 as regards seniority, how many were to be given the offer of permanent, what pay scale new joiners to the base would start on etc etc. . . . & lets not even mention the sick joke that was V1.0.
The HEL base is not a standalone entity, and all Unions concerned are attempting to put in place a common CLA acceptable to ALL contract bases , with local variations in renumeration etc to take account of local laws holiday/weekend payments etc.
At least the Spanish Union SEPLA was able to announce this week that they have reached 50% membership within the current Spanish based pilots. An excellent result in the few mths the campaign has been going, & one that puts Ryanair to shame (not to mention the NAS LGW base if what I hear is true. . . Wakey Wakey guys, BALPA or BENDOVER . . .which do you prefer ?
