One thing i will predict!
When the big move has been completed there will be a big strike in LEJ ,the people work for very low wages (i know a DHL ramp supervisor who left to become a airport fuel truck driver ,this because it paid 25% more)

Let the revolution begin

but its DHL so it will ...

Belgium is deady on Tax ,i live there but work for a foreign airline something that saves me lots of money.
DHL belgium (EAT) are also loosing lots of pilots (As do DHL Air UK)
If airlines dont put up the money they will loose there pilots ,there is no loyalty left after how they treated there ...

een staking bij DHl air is erg onwaarschijnlijk aangezien we geen vakbond hebben!
Maar het bedrijf still leggen ,dat zou wel eens kunnen gebeuren kijkende naar het groot tekort aan mensen

Neil

Pilatus je kunt het gezever noemen maar ik heb het van iemand binnen EAT en van een Manager in DHL air die allemaal een interne email hebben gekregen over deze situatie.

Neil

Ik heb begrepen dat de EAT piloten in favor of een staking hebben gestemt als management niet terug komt op het ontslag van de captain in question.

Neil

EAT en DHL air = 1 pot nat ,management geeft niets om zijn werknemers .
We zijn er alleen om op tijd te vliegen en onze mond te houden!
Ik vlieg zelf bij DHL air in de UK en over de winter zijn er 27 piloten weg gegaan van de ongeveer 160!
Maar het management doet er niet aan om mensen in het ...

they diverted from stansted to east midlands (EMA) for a cat 3 landing ,this went wrong and part of a main gear was later found beside the runway there!
The aircraft diverted then to BHX where it made an emergency landing.
tire tracks where found in the grass beside the runway at EMA!

I thing LHr was for a long time known as "the only building site with his own airport"

I spend lots of hours on AA 727 jumpseats and all of them had a F/E.


Neil

another problem with the TU204 is the number of crew they carry around ,this aircraft must have a crew of 4 or 5!
TNT was planning to get a whole fleet of them but that never happened ,i guess there was a reason for that.


Neil

I put my money on Leipzig!
DHL flights are all avoiding BRU at the moment because of the industrial actions!,more than 20 A/C got stuck in BRU last night ,some where able to leave in the daytime and will not return till all has returned to normal!
I think the BRU DHL staff are hurting there case ...
