Invitation to TUI Pilot Group Meeting

A few weeks ago, we approached you for the first time explaining that the Belgian Cockpit Association, which represents pilots in Belgium, is going to create a JAF (Jetairfly) pilot board.

Since then, first steps have been taken by the JAF pilot board in view of a comparative study between different Airlines in the TUI group. We are now in the stage of collecting information. 

Contacts with pilots of the TPG (TUI Pilot Group) have been made and are very positive.

TPG is an association representing pilots of TUIfly Nordic, TUIfly Germany, Arkefly and Thomson Airways; they meet several times a year. 

Their mission statement is to represent the collective interests of Member Associations by upholding the highest standards of safety and promoting the careers and interests of professional airline pilots through collaboration and advocacy in the Group.

This is achieved by:    

• Building relationships
• Sharing information
• Making Group Production agreements (inter TUI airline temporary pilot contracts)
• Influencing our respective managements to give priority to other TUI pilots in seasonal contracts, outsourcing, redundancy and employment situations
• Working together to align pilot employment practices within the TUI group and in Europe. 

The next meeting will take place in Amsterdam in October and we have been invited to attend. They are eager to meet JAF pilots.

It would be great to have several pilots attending the meeting, together with BeCA, in order to have a wider cast to exchange information.

Should you be interested, please let us know by responding to this email, mentioning your name and pilot status.

We will stay in close contact with you and let you know any new development.

Should you need further information on BeCA, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Best regards,

BeCA Committee
