Transavia's Mile High Club

[Passenger]

On 24th October 2016, a Dutch civil judge has a case that will be discussed behind closed doors. Transavia demands an interdict against the (soon-to-be-ex) husband from a Transavia stewardess. The 46-year old lady kept a digital diary about her performances in the air and in hotels at location. The husband found the password for the diary and now threatens to release all data, including names, if she (= the stewardess) refuses a voluntary divorce. Transavia thus intervened with a court case, stating that a publication would damage its reputation.

This made my day!

I guess a lot of pilots are very nervous for the moment...

Cheers,

Transavia statement in response to the article in De Telegraaf

Transavia was already aware of the accusations currently under discussion. We take these kinds of situations extremely seriously and have investigated the matter. Our investigation showed that the safety of our passengers has not been jeopardised at any time.

We are of the opinion that the spreading of private information is inappropriate, as it puts those involved in an embarrassing and compromising situation. An important principle of our personnel policy is to take care of our employees, which is why we have discussed this issue with all those involved. We do not feel that it is necessary to share the content of these talks.

I'm sure the PR department are quite happy with all the free press coverage!

Yep, the press coverage is huge. Readers from De Telegraaf and other tabloids are laughing with it, but politicians don't. I saw an interview on tv yesterday with a politician, stating that Transavia will have to explain/confirm that safety was never at risk when an aircraft was flying on autopilot because of unavailability of both crew (one in the cabin, one in the cockpit).

The parties seem to have reached an out-of-court settlement. The names of the (often married) pilots will not be disclosed.

Does Transavia know the names of the pilots who skipped duties, or did the names remain undisclosed to Transavia?
