Obviously foreign unions shouldn't (and couldn't) have anything to do with whatever labouragreements or contracts you have but when there is any unfair advantage because of (GCAA's interpretation of) FTL's nobody can blame them to get involved.
Hi Alu shuffler,
This is what I wrote.
I didn't write there is jurisdiction and and interest in your personal situation.
But there is a big interest in any unfair advantage the ME3 may have, and when those unfair advantages are among the root causes of your discontent (your hours would be illegal in the EU) you, and the German union, have a common goal.
And WRT comparison with the Ryanair pilots, I guess the EU alpa's are investing in the RPG but would be surprised if any of RYR pilots is member of any Alpa (isn't that the whole point?) allowing Ryanair to do with them whatever Ryanair sees fit.
