"In Norwegian Longhaul there was taken an initiative just over a year ago to start a pilot association, NLHPA. 2/3 of pilots joined and the intention was to NLHPA would convey the views of pilots for the next move to OSM contracts.
Three pilots volunteered to represent NLHPA in this discussion. Parties, OSM, NLH and NLHPA met once, and there were NLHPA know that it had any bargaining and thus could meeting ends almost immediately. OSM contract and its terms were dictated by Norwegian and was not negotiable. Take it or leave it.
Officially there is freedom of association in NLH but the truth is quite different.
Of the three pilots who were selected to represent their colleagues, two of them a week ago received an email by management explaining that their 3-year contract which expires at the end of 2016 will not be renewed. The third representative stopped by the free will of a job at Virgin. Reason for this early notification was in accordance with the line that you want to give them plenty of time to find a new employer. Very thoughtful.
A pure coincidence that their contract is not renewed? Three experienced pilots out of the door while NLH struggling to find qualified pilots for future expansion. Hardly!!
There is no doubt that NLH in this way wants to make an example for the other pilots. Legally or may not judge someone else but it is quite clear that NLH trying to screw the clock back to the 1920s.
The development is frightening and affects us all. Where the aircraft is coming when no longer dare express deficiencies or report, I do not think about.
Flights safe! "
