The company Air France announced today that their flights back to normal “gradually” starting next Tuesday, which means that those who had already been canceled today and tomorrow will not be made despite the end of the strike, reports EFE.
In a statement, Air France justified this fact first by “operational and regulatory” requirements and because planes have to pass a series of mandatory checks to fly again.
Also because it takes time to bring back the aircraft and their crews to all scales worldwide.
In the day today, the strike, which started last 15th, is resulted in the cancellation of 55% of the flight program of Air France and tomorrow still have to suspend just over 40%.
The company lamented that “despite lengthy negotiations since the beginning of conflict, “which allowed” numerous advances “union convenors pilots unemployment have not signed the protocol of intent in his opinion” balanced and reasonable “.
He complained that the central drivers , who reported the protest group plans to develop low-cost subsidiary Transavia, with different work rules for Air France, “have not taken advantage of those opportunities.”
In any case, even in the absence of that commitment, the management said it intends to continue without delay “the rapid development of Transavia France, great vector group’s growth.”
This means that it will “under the conditions competitive economic and social previews “, in particular by expanding the fleet Transavia France, which currently stands at 14 aircraft, the Boeing 737 model, and not Airbus A320 family, as they wanted the pilots of Air France strike organizers.
This increase in activity is done with “operating conditions and remuneration of Transavia France”, different from those of Air France, whose drivers will be given the opportunity to work for the low-cost subsidiary but with those rules.
The company said that its plans for Transavia France allow “rapid creation of 1,000 jobs in France”, of which 250 will be pilot.
Air France insisted that the purpose of this “costly and harmful” that “has lasted too long” strike, has reinforced its determination to “advance” their economic model and endorse his leadership within a framework of social “constructive and responsible dialogue.”
The National Union Line Pilots (SNPL, the main one in this group at Air France) decided to end the strike, the longest in the history of the airline, although it stressed that no had reached an agreement in negotiations with management.
Although the company resigned last Thursday plans to create a new subsidiary Transavia Europe to establish new bases of operations outside France and the Netherlands, with working conditions less favorable, the SNPL also wanted a single contract for pilots Transavia France, to align it to Air France.
The president of the group, forming the Air France KLM Dutch, Alexandre de Juniac, recognizing how damaging this conflict, said the priority now is “the union (…) about the project growth and competitiveness” for 2020.
This project will now more difficult considering that, for lack of an evaluation prevista- the company has been missing for two weeks about 15-20 million euros a day, plus the consequent deterioration of its image among customers who have stayed on land.
