Today pilot associations from around Europe unanimously decided to set up a transnational pilot group allowing for effective coordination and cooperation across national borders.
Capt. Dirk Polloczek, President of the European Cockpit Association (ECA):
“Today is a historic day for Ryanair pilots in their quest for fair and equitable working conditions. And it is a great day for unity among the European pilot community. Pilot associations from around Europe unanimously decided to set up a transnational pilot group allowing for effective coordination and cooperation across national borders. This is a major step to allow for the pooling of information, resources, and experience, and to speak with one voice on the many transnational matters and concerns they have. It is now up to Ryanair to take this great new opportunity to reach out to its pilots and engage in genuine social dialogue.”
ALPL as hosting association of the 73rd IFALPA conference signed this agreement. Captain Dirk Becker Executive Secretary of Luxembourg’s airline pilot association ALPL:
