Not sure when this DHL incident occurred, but when the 757 operated in DHL livery, it was aussie reggo, with AWAS/Nordstress pilots initially, then afterward crewed bya a mix of both, some DHL pilots seconded to AWAS, and some AWAS employees..it went "dry apr 2002, and was lost in the midair july 1'st 2002.sectors now under the control of DHL europe..if they want to "cull" a few expat pilots, so be it, nothing can stop them, it is their company, but they seem to have no inclination to do so, on the contrary, as mentioned above, the VPO seems to be very keen to work with the pilot group, to sort out the difficulties involved in moving families to AUH, human resources has gone silent for the time being though..nobody is refusing to do anything, but the details haven't been sorted out as to how and where yet, that is all..the trade union is sanctioned, and legalized by the government, as of about a year ago or so, and is working with the compaqny to resolve these issues, not against it..so "scanscanscan" do not attempt to paint a picture of conflict where none exists..haggling over details..yes, fighting the company's efforts to resolve these issues, no..
