Pilot Jobs Situation
|
last
update
|
| Current
Situation: |
Hiring. The company hasn’t implemented several key lifestyle elements of the latest pay deal signed months ago.
They have not implemented Wraparound days for leave, they are not honouring the positioning section of the agreement as intended and there has yet to be one 750 contract given out. This is now several months after the deal was signed.
The pilots union has started a formal failure to agree process over elements of the agreement not been honoured by the company and pilot generally are not happy with the way the company has avoided implementation of the agreement.
