Direct Bondi,

you are quoting from a superseded contract. Notice period either way for those who have signed a Contract with OSM /NAR ES /NAR FI is 3 months. Most are now on these "permanent" contracts.

It is your legal obligation to ascertain whether you are fit to fly, and a company attempting to impose disciplinary measures on a crew member who has (in his own judgement ) assessed himself unfit, is in very serious contravention of all National Aviation Authority rules.

What has happened , with the Scandinavian based crews, is that the company has withdrawn the right to "self-certify" for the 1st 3 days of sickness. This could well be extended to the EURO pilots, but, it will (as discussed earlier in the thread) be self defeating.

No Doctor is going to put his name/career on the line by failing to sign off a flight crew member who states that he is unable to perform due to stress, and, as further stated in the previous post, is more than likely to sign the individual off for more than a couple of days, and probably demand a return visit to recertify the individual as fit.


I do however totally agree with your assertion that . . . . . . " Contractors flying for Norwegian have a golden opportunity to join their Scandinavia colleagues and demand you ALL be included in a collective agreement and that Norwegian is your "employer". At such time you will truly be ONE GROUP OF NORWEGIAN PILOTS."
