with Brexit it will be an EU issue rather than a UK issue in the near future and Easyjet with an EU AOC will not be allowed to legally scab strikes
Already today wrong. Local contracts means local employment laws, and many are very similar to the UK ones in that regard. Of course, one could always call in sick, but that is somewhat risky as well, dependent on where you work (pretty much riskless where i live).
It's yet another example of how European pilots associations are struggling to cope with hard driving pan-European businesses.
Well, it is really struggling with the fact that working/employment law is not unified in europe. Or to say it in another way: companies do have it easy as they can work cross-border, unions can't as the law doesn't allow it.
