In fact, neither the Government nor the TAP were keen to resolve the interpretations of the resulting company agreements the December agreement; the issue of seniority referred to in the statement are part of the scope of the Company Agreement and therefore were part of the December agreement, adding even if its not spare is unconstitutional, in the scenario of privatization of TAP Group; Finally, the SPAC always kept his word and made it clear to this government, that the agreements are to be followed, including the celebrated with the Government and with TAP in 1999. "
On statements by the Secretary of State for Transport, Sergio Monteiro, Thursday, SPAC says these are "inaccurate", proving its considerations by sending a letter from TAP the syndicated on 23 March in Following the negotiations on the agreement concluded in December. In this letter, the pilots out the third paragraph, which states: "In relation to paragraph 18. (" Compensation "), again, the document submitted by SPAC, was reiterated by the TAP cited in 4 and 5 above, having TAP statement about what had been transmitted by the Government and which had already been made by the Government and which had already been presented to the remaining principal Unions 'Tripartite Agreement' - the compensation to be paid shall be composed of a single extraordinary provision of corresponding value the annual value (14 months) 1 unit (seniority salary) to be paid by the end of 2015; was not communicated to TAP any alternative hypothesis of this measure or any other complement "compensation" as reference. "
