Meetings have concluded and we have an in-principle agreement. We haven’t given away too much although taking 2% wage rises does add significant benefit to the company.

FRCs will remain secured within the Agreement including on new aircraft types. Everyone will be offered type training from 1 Jan next year until the Agreement ends including those AMEs who gain all their basics.

The ALAEA Android App has now been released and can be downloaded from google play. This means that both Android and Apple users can download this handy tool that contains a number of features for members. Apart from the many links to useful information, the app acts as another two-way communication tool between the members and our office.
