Diciamo che l'intervista del nuovo CEO apre le porte ad un intervento duro del governo francese per sbloccare l'impasse della riduzione del costo del lavoro.
AF-KLM lancia nuovo piano di ristrutturazione: Perform 2020
- Autore Discussione AZ209
- Data d'inizio
Sono problemi interni alle aziende e se non si trova il modo di risolverli attraverso opportune disposizioni di legge, c'è il rischio a medio termine di una ecatombe di major strutturalmente sane, ma "piombate" da una quantità eccessiva di personale per di più con stipendi fuori mercato.
Come te credo che kLM non andrà da nessuna parte. Questo però non cambia di un nulla la situazione di AF che definire tragica è dir poco. Che non navigasse in buone acque lo si era capito quando ha deciso di diluire la sua quota in Az dopo averne detenuto il 25%. Il sindacato francese è molto forte e non credo che il governo abbia oggi, la forza e la volontà di andare allo scontro. Il personale non ha ancora capito che si è arrivati al capolinea e come i loro colleghi di tutto il mondo devono adeguarsi ai tempi e rinunciare a qualche privilegio. Che dire..... la vedo male!!
Metto qui.

Air France (AF, Paris CDG) has announced it will begin scheduled commercial B787-9 operations on January 9, 2017 with Paris CDG-Cairo Int'l, Egypt the type's maiden route.

Air France-KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has nineteen B787-9s and six B787-10s on order from Boeing (BOE, Chicago O'Hare) with an additional twelve B787s to be leased from AerCap. According to the ch-aviation fleets database, KLM currently operates seven B787-9s of which six are leased from AerCap.
Air France's first B787-9 (msn 38769) will feature 225 seats in Economy, 21 in Premium Economy and 30 in Business Class.

È interessante come AF e KL abbiano gli stessi tipi di aereo ma galley e sedili diversi. Sul 787, e su 77W e 77E. Non sono cambiate molto da 5 anni fa, quando facevi una gara per maintenance e ti mandavano due proposte in concorrenza... Il matrimonio più disfunzionale della storia.

Air France,camicie strappate e condanne
mercoledì 30/11/16 13:33 - ultimo aggiornamento: mercoledì 30/11/16 13:33
E' stata pronunciata in Francia oggi, mercoledì, una prima sentenza nei confronti dei responsabili del tentato linciaggio di alcuni dirigenti di Air France nell'ottobre del 2015. I fatti risalgono alle agitazioni esplose dopo i sensibili tagli al personale disposti dalla compagnia aerea. Le immagini dei manager con le loro camicie ridotte a brandelli avevano fatto il giro del mondo. A 3 autori della clamorosa aggressione sono stati inflitte pene varianti dai 3 ai 4 mesi di carcere col beneficio della condizionale. Altri 2 imputati sono stati invece assolti. I legali dei condannati hanno dichiarato di essere pronti a ricorrere in appello.

Air France-KLM's Transavia pilots to go on strike Dec. 23-26
Dec 20 A group of pilots working for Air France-KLM 's low-cost subsidiary Transavia France have called for a three-day strike from Dec. 23 to Dec. 26, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
The pilots, all seconded from the airline's French unit, said the strike would start at 2301 GMT on Dec. 23 and end on Dec. 26 at 2259 GMT, the company said.
The striking pilots' demands are "known and are part of the general talks that are starting," Transavia France said, without giving further details.
A spokeswoman for the Transavia France told Reuters that the number of affected flights would be known on Thursday, a day before the start of the strike. She was not able to say how many pilots would go on strike. (Reporting by Myriam Rivet and Cyril Altmeyer; Writing by Mathieu Rosemain; Editing by Bate Felix)

Air France pilots support establishing an LCC

Air France pilots have voted in support of a prospective budget carrier, while the SNPL trade union – representing French pilots – is against the idea, according to French newspaper Le Figaro.
57% of the 3700 participants voted in favor of creating a low-cost carrier. The Boost project presented to the employees in the beginning of February suggests the creation of an LCC that would serve Air France that are deemed unprofitable. The workers of the new subsidiary would be paid 40% less than those flying for Air France.
According to preliminary information, the fleet will consist of 18 planes. The new airline will have Charles de Gaulle Airport as its main hub.
At the same time the SNPL pilot union rejects the proposal of establishing a new LCC. According to a previously signed agreement, the union has the right to veto the decision.

Piloti sindacalisti HOP avrebbero barato sui loro giorni di ferie, dichiarando di essere in delegazione sindacale mentre erano in vacanza. 5 milioni all'anno il costo per la compagnia:
Des pilotes de Hop! auraient triché sur leurs congés
Les questions salariales provoquent décidemment des polémiques chez Air France. Alors qu'une grève se profile mardi 7 mars après le récent cafouillage sur l'augmentation des rémunérations des membres de la direction de la compagnie aérienne, une nouvelle affaire vient toucher les pilotes de Hop!, la filiale dédiée aux vols régionaux d'Air France. Une quinzaine de pilotes auraient triché sur leurs congés, rapporte Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France et le système aurait coûté 5 millions d'euros par an à la compagnie. D'après les instances internes du SNPL, syndicat des pilotes de ligne qui a commandé un rapport, ces pilotes syndicalistes auraient fait passer plusieurs jours de congés pour des jours de délégations syndicales payés par l'entreprise. Certains auraient ainsi été rémunérés jusqu'à 12 jours supplémentaires, alors qu'ils ne volaient pas et n'étaient pas en représentation de leurs syndicats. Des journées payées, de plus, en heures supplémentaires.
Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France explique que l'affaire a été découverte lorsque les trois filiales d'Air France (Brit Air, Airlinair et Regional) ont été réunies au sein de Hop!. L'audit commandé par le SNPL révèle que le système résulte d'une «souplesse» accordée aux élus du personnel et qui existait chez Régional depuis au moins 2011. La direction en aurait par ailleurs eu parfaitement connaissance puisqu'elle y a mis fin en 2016. Un fait que relève Armand Simon, président du SNPL de Hop! qui compte parmi les mis en cause. Il assure que c'est la direction qui a imposé ce système de pose de délégation syndicale et que les accusateurs font une erreur d'appréciation. Il assure également que les temps de repos réglementaire ont été respectés.
Car au-delà des questions salariales - les fraudeurs auraient selon le syndicat national touchés jusqu'à 6000 euros mensuels de plus que leur collègues - se pose celle de la sécurité. Ce système va en effet à l'encontre de la réglementation internationale qui impose des jours de repos effectif aux pilotes. Chez Hop! le nombre minimum de jours de repos est de 10 chaque mois, un chiffre qui n'aurait donc pas été respecté, les délégations syndicales étant considérées comme des jours de travail. Le rapport parle de mise en danger de la vie d'autrui passible d'un an de prison et de 15.000 euros d'amende. Les syndicalistes convoqués devant le conseil de discipline de leur syndicat le 7 février dernier pourraient être sanctionnés dès aujourd'hui. La compagnie aérienne et le SNPL n'étaient pas disponibles pour répondre à nos questions.

I conti dei francolandesi sono molto migliorati ma c'è da dire che ciò è dato pure dalla vendita di Servair (ristorazione aerea) e Cobalt (servizi aeroportuali ad Heathrow). Vi è inoltre da dire che KLM e Transavia hanno raggiunto ottimi risultati.
Flying Blue ha introdotto un nuovo livello, Ultimate Platinum.
