ST JOHN’S, Antigua – The Leeward Islands Airline Pilots Association (LIALPA) has reportedly planned to take aim at LIAT’s cabin crew staff for lack of support.
According to reports, LIALPA is offended that the Leeward Islands Flight Attendants Association (LIFAA) has not voiced its support for the pilots and the position they took following the dismissal of Captain Michael Blackburn.
A source told The Daily OBSERVER that flight attendants may be paying for not siding with the pilots and will allegedly be denied privileges to super crew.
Super crew refers to airline crew members who, on their days off, can travel to destinations within the company’s network by requesting the jump seat from the captain in command of that flight.
The inside source said that the pilots’ planned retaliation can come into effect immediately with requests being denied without explanation.
Reports are LIALPA on Monday approached LIFAA to join them in taking industrial action against Captain Michael Blackburn’s dismissal. But the flight attendants’ union, which has been quiet since the sickout began on Tuesday, reportedly decided they needed to be properly briefed on the matter.
Further reports are they are yet to receive any of information that was requested.
