The strike of pilots and flight attendants enters the 3rd day with no progress in the negotiations; flights are delayed

Breaks aim at higher wages for crew members, which also requires airlines to respect rest periods

THE to hit of pilots and flight attendants, which began this week, enters its third day this Wednesday 21. The disruptions occur every day, from 6:00 to 8:00, in nine of the main airports in the country.

At around 7:30, the airport panels showed that there were delayed flights in Congonhas (São Paulo; 3 flights), Rio-Galeão (Rio; 4 flights), Fortaleza (2 flights), Viracopos (Campinas- SP; 2 flights), Porto Alegre (1 flight) and Brasilia (1 flight). There was still a weather delay in Congonhas (1 flight) and in Santos Dumont (Rio; 13 flights).

Flights to Congonhas (10 flights), Santos Dumont (10 flights), Porto Alegre (2 flights) and Viracopos (1 flight) were also cancelled. Guarulhos airport, in São Paulo, had no delays or cancellations and Confins airport, in Belo Horizonte, had the panel offline.

The crew movement aims to recoup inflationary losses and earn real wages, “given the high prices of airline tickets that have generated growing profits for the companies”, according to the National Union of Aeronauts (SNA)🇧🇷 Another claim of the category is that the rest times of pilots and flight attendants are respected by the airlines. For determination of Superior Labor Court (TST)the strike can only affect 10% of the company’s employees.

SNA says there has been no progress in negotiations with the Airline companies🇧🇷 In a live broadcast on Youtube on Tuesday 20, Henrique Hacklaender, CEO of the SNA, said that the movement will continue until the requests are resolved.

“We had an excellent first day, a second day that has been growing, getting better and better. And we are going to a third, a fourth, a fifth. As necessary. The companies have not positioned themselves, they have not presented something until moment and we need to come to a resolution,” he said. Hacklaender also stressed that the crew members’ claims are fair and plausible.

In a statement also released on Tuesday, the National Union of Airlines (SNEA) pointed out that the price of air tickets has been greatly affected by the pandemic and that there has been an increase in costs for companies, which, according to the union, accumulate losses.

He also pointed out that last weekend the airlines accepted a mediation proposal drawn up by the Superior Labor Court (TST), but the proposal was rejected by the SNA. “SNEA underlines that the airlines have collaborated in the negotiation and have sought solutions to guarantee full service to all their customers, especially in this high season”, concludes the note.
