The announcement from bmibaby on 26-Nov-08 reflects the current challenging situation that the airline industry faces. Bmibaby is cutting routes and 3 aircraft will not have their leases renewed.
This affects BHX and EMA bases and means, inevitably, that there may be some redundancies. The 30 day consultation period has started and the first meeting with the Company will be on 02-Dec-08.
Members meetings will be arranged for 03-Dec and 04-Dec.
BALPA recognises that this is a tremendously stressful time and all aspects of the toolkit ‘Rising to the Challenge’ will be optimised to support the pilots through this difficult period. Already, the BALPA team has engaged with solicitors to prepare the ground for the talks with management.
It is understood that the method of selection the employer proposes for dismissal is an important factor in the ensuing discussions and BALPA will assist its members in gathering the required information so that the Company Council is well prepared for the consultation process.
BALPA’s policy on supporting LIFO as the criterion for managing redundancy remains unchanged.
