Not sure what the current situation is but there's the link, I think they took some 744 guys on contract through Parc recently.

I would think the situation at TNT could be be described as uncertain, with the UPS take-over still a work in progress.

Sent times ago, 7 months, receive last message 2 months ago telling me to patience as they are replanning the overall situation.
So I thin we have to wait and see the progress of UPS in this!

Does anyone knows their salaries?

[JQKA]

don't know the saòary yet..but something sure is that in Belgius taxes are very high..one of the higher in Europe!

[old-timer]

Has anyone heard any more gen' on the alleged TNT-UPS merger ?

[safelife]

Even those flying for TNT have no clue what the merger means for their future.
There were rumors of relocation to Cologne (UPS base), not nothing certain as of now.

Belgium pilot unions is alerting medias and EU to avoid loss of european pilot jobs in favor of more UPS pilots based in Europe


Translation of the article published in Lesoir of yesterday

The Belgian Cockpit Association want to send an alarm message to the politics about the sale of TNT to UPS, and its consequences for the Belgian pilots.
UPS (and FedEx) allegedly operate intra-european flights with American pilots who don't pay any charge in Europe. And operate "cabotage" flights inside Europe, which is the preserve of European airlines.
On the other hand, no American airline can own more than 49% of an European airline. What future for TNT airways (29 aircraft, 300 pilots) after the sale of TNT to UPS ?

Welcome to the Frontpage (http://www.beca.be/)

Every night, dozens of US registered cargo airplane take off from Paris Charles de Gaulle and Cologne Bonn airports, carrying payload over the European networks of FedEx and UPS.
By sending parcels from all over Europe, BeCA has recently proven that their payload is in fact domestic European freight. Why don’t European pilots have the same rights in US? According to the EU-US agreement, cabotage is not permitted. Why are some parcel originating and at destination of 2 cities in a same country, carried by a US parcel services?

FedEx or UPS planes flying in Europe are operated by US pilots employed on the US payroll. They apply US “international” flight duty times regulations, which are less restrictive than the European FTL. US pilots stay in Europe either for repetitive short-term detachment (and are supposed to fly back to their home base in US) or for long-term periods (up to 5 years!) but they are never subject to the EU and national social and taxation legislation.

Considering the crisis on the pilot job market in Europe, and the absence of a reciprocal obligation this situation is not acceptable.
