That’s because the Pilots don’t start until Monday and as yet, RM hasn’t been forthcoming with any information. There is another meeting between RM and the CWU on 28th ish, so SURELY they will say something then about their plans.

Thanks Barnacles. Still waiting on the big scandal reveal Dave Ward announced last year, has he been muzzled ? !Barnacle wrote: ↑22 Feb 2025, 10:02That’s because the Pilots don’t start until Monday and as yet, RM hasn’t been forthcoming with any information.

If the pilot starts on Monday then surely by now it should be known how the duties have been changed, how are days off being allocated and how long is the working day for starters

Exactly. The people passing on information, don’t realise what information we are most interested in knowing.

The way things are going it looks like the "official" pilots will be the last to go live

Revisions and 2:1 being forced in into offices that are not agreed trial offices with union approval . Why?

Probably because the union rolled over during the later part of the last dispute, when there was such a massive mandate for strikes.scoobydo79 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2025, 08:16Revisions and 2:1 being forced in into offices that are not agreed trial offices with union approval . Why?

Re: LTB 041/25 – UPDATE ON USO PILOTS
A while ago there was a spreadsheet on here showing the later mail arrival times at all offices when the network changed which also showed the number of duties in the offices, if anyone can find it, I can't remember what it was called.
