The National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Personnel said that in recent months “it has alerted the company to the need for a more equitable distribution of stopovers”, reporting several ’emails’ sent on the subject since October last year.
The National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Personnel (SNPVAC) warned today of the possibility of a “huge disruption” in the high season, due to the “weak organization” in workers’ shifts, it said in a statement.
In the note, released this Tuesday, SNPVAC said that in recent months “it has alerted the company to the need for a more equitable distribution of stopovers”, reporting several ’emails’ sent on the subject since October last year .
The union warned of the problems already visible in the May shifts, with “days of 11 or 12 hours, consecutively and, above all, in congested airports”, adding that “the company applies an operational plan transversal to the network, forgetting the specificities of each airport or country”.
“With no instruments that oblige the company to manage the operation better, or to use common sense, the warning issued several times internally seems to have had no effect”, he lamented.
“At this stage, where the company is already facing disruption at the beginning of the IATA summer season, with several cancellations in the first week of April”, SNPVAC said that, “if there are no new hires, promotions to cabin managers, or that planning will be eased” predicts “a huge disruption in the high summer season, and the operation could even be compromised”.
“These cancellations are due to the weak organization of the company, which had already occurred in 2019 and 2022”, he highlighted, noting that “the company cannot then mention maternity leave, flexible working hours, summer events or even leaves related to illness. workers, to justify something identified many months ago”.
