Nil Further,
Please don't confuse matters and get your facts right.
The decision to NFLY can be taken by a Manager responsible for Safety if you file an ASR. If you 'forget' to file or were simply unaware of the circumstances then you could be NFLY'ed by a Liaison Officer. Liaison Officer's work confidentially and are completely autonomous from Management. They exist to further flight safety.They can be contacted for advice on any safety related matter and that includes issues concerning any perceived 'underhand' Management activities. Or indeed any deeply personal matter that you may not wish to discuss with your Boss, that could perhaps affect flight safety. And yes they could NFLY you as a result of such a conversation. This would be completely confidential. Even if your Boss contacts an FCLO for info' (flight crew liaison officer) he could be politely told where to go!
Now, if you cross swords with Management and say routinely refuse discretion, then you can expect questions to be asked. Nobody wants to leave 186 pax screwed down route unless there is a very good reason. But there are always a few who want to make a point. Management can also No fly you for their own non safety reasons and they are within their rights to MEET you to discuss circumstances. Is this unreasonable?
But it's recognised also that this Summer has not lived up to the many promises.Over 400 cancellations in July? (no big French ATC strikes) And engaging the troops in the right way has always been a bit of a challenge for years. Good Management does not require 'bullying'.
As for French issues this has to be taken in context. There are contractual aspects which include the legal right to refuse to work into a day off. And many do and that is their right.
It's one of the facts that needs to be understood and Managed.
You cannot run the French operation with a Luton/Gatwick mentality.
The 'Nuclear' option that SNPL took without reference to members was not
appreciated by everybody IMO.
