Time for an update on where the pilots are with regards the Court Orders which precluded the expats from being included.
The information that I have received indicates that with the changeover of company lawyers things got a bit messy with regards submitted affidavits, applications etc etc.
Compounding this was the delay in issuing the Orders which then meant the appeal date closure had passed. My information is that you have up to 40 days to lodge an appeal yet the Orders were issued after 40 days.
So another appeal has to be lodged to extend the appeal date. This has now been done and they await a hearing to determine if their appeal is successful. If so then they can lodge another appeal against the actual Orders to have the PNGAPA to be included in the Orders.
I hope my very reduced summary of what I have received covers the main points. There is a lot more information available but I have kept this post as simple as possible.
Meanwhile life in paradise continues as normal - dismally.
