hello.

have that Sterling has offered a two months contract to those guys on their type rating course in july and september. Can a company do that, when you think about these 24 pilots who are supposed to leave the company in near future....
Doesn't sound right to me, but then again nothing surprices me with Sterling anymore...
Comments!!!

low n' slow

You mean that sterling are sacking 24 cockpit crew and then taking on guys new to the type on a short contract?
According to Swedish law I cant see that being possible legally, but if they have a contract firm handling the contracts "out of house", it's perfectly legal and really sad for the guys having to leave... If you think of it, this is whats happenïng everywhere with buisnesses such as manpower, adecco etc.
It's really up towards the previously employed, but I guess there's nothing to do.

yeah thats true, but don't know if thats the case.... maybe someone in here does???
Anyone in here who are among those guys to start in Sterling?

As it appears that Sterling are having trouble making money off of their passengers, it seems they are trying to do so from their FO's instead.

RYR-738-JOCKEY

My first thought is that they might have some contractual agreement which guarantees them linetraining, and therefore have been offered two-month-contracts for that purpose.

Just thinking - what about the guys taking their TR's during the period feb to apr (3 courses as far as I know). Are they out in the dark again?

Ducceman

Yes, well I am one of them!

best of luck to you.... always good to get some hours in the book

Rumour has it, that many of the 24 sacked have allready left, so the company found themselves short on the OSL+STO bases during summer......

That is the case as far as I know. The 24 fired pilots have been offered to stay a few month longer but most of them have already found other jobs. Therefore the pilots from the 3 previouse courses have been offered a 2 month contract.
I think at least some of them will get that contract extended for the rest of the summerprogram......lucky them

Godt at der er mulighed for rutetræning, det er bare ærgeligt at det er på bekostning af fyrede kollegaer. Var de ikke blevet sagt op, så havde de ikke søgt andre steder hen. Uroen er ikke aftaget i firmaet.
SAPA,s formand giver ikke lyd fra sig, er ikke eksisterende.
Har ikke indkaldt til ekstra generalforsamling som 180 har ønsket skriftligt.
FPU glimrer ved fravær. Det her koster Sterling penge og det er SAPA der blokerer, utroligt at Sterling finder sig i det. Overenskomst nedstemt med stort flertal. Hvordan kan et mindretal forhandle en ny? Er SAPA ikke en forening for medlemmerne eller er det kun en forening for bestyrelsen og deres egne ønsker! Hvis SAPA er en forening for medlemmerne, så lyt til dem og vær sande representanter derfor.

niss, hvad er det nu lige du mener når du skriver "FPU glimrer ved fravær."?

The total mess in Sterling, and the Sicilian methods of the management, the screwdriver tendency`s of the wannabee´s, the ignorant behavior of SAPA, the free fall of the payment, the bad spirit among colleagues.

Sterling is a cirkus, and you the pilots, are the actors - the line given to the management, has become to long.

Dont complain or do something about it!!! First of all UNITE.

And for the pilotunions results until now???????

And for the management results until now?????

Very constructive attitude!

I know of pilots who have left sterling and have found jobs through Wynnwith. They seem to be very helpful.
