After the CEO’s email regarding the “suspension of Hong Kong layovers” sent on Friday 25 September 2020, many of our members contacted us, as they still have layovers in Hong Kong scheduled.
In a telephone call at noon time today with the Vice-President of the Delegation, the CEO confirmed, that layovers in Hong Kong will be eliminated, although this change will require some time to be completed.
In this telephone call the Vice-President of the Delegation pointed out once again, that suspending crew layovers in Hong Kong is essential and that any deviation or undue delay while making the required changes is not acceptable by our members.
It was also emphasized to the CEO, that the trust of the pilot group in management has already been damaged and that our members expect, that what has been communicated by the CEO in his aforementioned email will be put into place and respected by all levels of management and departments involved.
Regarding our three colleagues and members currently quarantined in Hong Kong; We can report that we are in close contact with all three and that support on site is being provided by our colleagues from the Hong Kong Airline Pilots Association (HKALPA).
In the meantime, we have reached out to Luxembourg’s government asking for support.
