So the chairman of the board, Bjørn Kise, will leave after the AGM.

That's not the same as the CEO, Bjørn Kjos, resigning.

Norwegian reducing pilot jobs at LGW?

Rumour in financial news in Norway. 787 pilots.

Interesting
How many 787 RR Dreadliners are still grounded World wide.

One quick Advise ; STAY AWAY from NAS 787 !! ALL PILOTS

[Banana Joe]

What's going on?

[Meester proach]

Not having much luck with these RR products, combined with the 737MAX issues.
A massive pain in the ass.

Every single B787 LGW based pilot (in other words those working for Norwegian UK Longhaul) have been given a bunch of options ranging from part time (month on/month off) through to 3, 6 or 12 month unpaid career breaks. Bidding process has commenced. If not enough interested people, then redundancies will be on the cards. Damn Boeing and RR for the mess they've created!

I am sure the airlines affected are being paid compensation by the manufacturers, I would also expect that a portion of the compensation should cover affected crew. Worthwhile getting some legal eagles to investigate this one.

Scandi media today reporting all US flight from CPH closing down after October 2019 and a bunch og other routes from Scandi and LGW.......

By the wording of the written in the media it looks like a total reset......

Hope for the best for the crews.....

[MonarchOrBust]

The compensation is not going to come over night and is probably not going to be in cash either.

The RR engined 787 will prove to be industry's greatest mistake.

well, this is a professional pilots RUMOUR forum...

[Meester proach]

Indeed, but some gossip is more malicious,
and id be inclined to say the proportion of professional pilots to other , is fairly low these days

Thanks.like it says though the winter programme is not finalised yet. Some of the reported LGW routes are seasonal anyway I think.

Judging your recent posts, unemployment (or ever getting that first airline job ) must be hard, Capt Flinstone

Come to BA. We’re short of 787 copilots! So much so, we’ve got a few 3 crew trips using heavy Captains.

[Meester proach]

A solution has been found to the slight overcrewing, which is favourable .

[Smooth Airperator]

And when do you think they might communicate this? So far it's been a mishmash of changes for some people people and not others with no option to accept or reject. A really bizarre way to handle someone's employment.

[BluSdUp]

Any update on the situation?
Stocks going down a tad lately and no Max this side of Xmass.
Are the 787 RR flying again, and if not how many grounded?
