Switzerland has to save. You recently chose an unusual method for this. As this newspaper learned, Swiss called several pilots who will be retiring in the coming months and suggested that they should give up future training sessions. This is to save training costs.
This would mean that the flight licenses of the older pilots would expire, which generate the highest salary costs for the company. Means: You would not retire any more until you retire, but you would continue to receive your salary.
“This is definitely the wrong way”
The Aeropers pilots association is aware of this Swiss approach and is not happy. “That’s definitely the wrong way,” says spokesman Thomas Steffen. This offer is also disruptive because it has been suggested to the Swiss since the outbreak of the pandemic to make early retirement attractive to older pilots. “That would reduce salary costs much more. Unfortunately, Swiss has not yet been active in this matter. “
Swiss does not comment specifically on the procedure. Solo: “Our goal remains to overcome the crisis with all employees.” For this, personnel costs should be reduced. They are working on various measures, such as part-time expanded models and flexible early retirement options.
