Don't get it....Belguim doesn't normally need a reason for any kind of industrial action.....but the LGG crew room is calm personified......seen it all before? Fed up with the rumours? Got other gigs going on? Find it most unsettling, there must be a Poirot out there that can shed the light....long live TNT I say, good friendly people that I hope will prevail, good luck to all.....
Strange indeed.
But we have 2 groups of people here.
The pilots can be pretty scared I would say, the many 737 certified pilots wouldn’t fit well in the fedex group, would they ?
Then you have the 1000+ workers on the ground, who are usually pretty active on reacting on a threat. So far all fedex communication is pretty reassuring… but who knows.
3 hubs is probably at least 1 too many.
Now, TNT @ LGG is very much linked to politics (Walloon region government). They have a huge impact on any changes. LGG recently freed up A LOT of space at the north of the airport. Hidden agenda ?

Edit : Picture of the free space made available recently.
