Have to agree with the Guvnor, the BeCA are probably able to screw up the whole thing within a year. Also to be fair this is the EU we are talking about, and any EU member has a right to work in any other EU member state. Just one thing for the Brits though, Belgian Social Security, Taxes etc are a nightmare. Better off to work through one of those non-Belgian Interim companies that have licences to place Crews there.

Should it not be Thomas Cook Airlines - State
Airline of Belguim - as the way its going only EAT will be left and can't see the Top Nobs wanting to go on a 727F...
Why is everyone so anti Belgian Pilots, or is it just the Union that are the problem?. Do you have to have a Union by Belgian Law?

Mr Angry, you don`t have to be in the Union in Belgium, except that companies with more than 50 employees should have a Union representative. The BeCA are not a recognised Union, only think they are, and its not that anyone is against Belgian Pilots its just that nearly all of them with SN and DAT were members of the BeCA. I`m afraid it kind of leaves a bitter taste. Shame for all those good guys out there getting 'tarred with the same brush'. Anyway
not to worry the Belgians want an EU peacekeeping force to send to Afghanistan send all the BeCA members and then perhaps some normality can return to Belgian aviation.
Good idea or what ??

I happen to think that the Gov is right and the new livery is excellent.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see how the airline goes and if Thomas cook AG adopt it for the entire fleet? Condor, JMC etc. It would certainly cut costs and provide an interchangeable fleet. As I understand it, the 5 A320's to be used are coming from JMC anyway.
