Caribbean Airlines Limited Seeks Ministry Of Labour’s Intervention Following Breakdown Of Negotiations With Pilots’ Union
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, November 28, 2023. Caribbean Airlines Limited, today announced that it engaged the Trinidad and Tobago Airline Pilots Association (TTALPA) on November 22nd, 2023, regarding the ongoing negotiations for the collective agreement for pilots from the period September 1, 2015, to August 31, 2018.
After careful consideration and in light of the challenges faced in reaching a mutually agreeable resolution, Caribbean Airlines Limited has decided to engage the processes under the Industrial Relations Act and to have the matter reported to the Minister of Labour.
On August 20, 2023, the Industrial Court issued an injunction against TTALPA, preventing pilots from taking industrial action.
Caribbean Airlines Limited remains committed to a constructive and transparent dialogue with TTALPA and is hopeful that the intervention of the Minister of Labour will lead to an early resolution.

Air Peace please take note of what pilots down here can do to your airline. They did it to LIAT 1974 and if you allow them they will also do it to LIAT 2020

Down here where? We may be in the Global South; but we are not down here from Nigeria.
As an Executive of a major Financial Company; who flies around on the Corperate Jet, should know his geography.
Go check the GPS as you attempt to insert the dead on arrival, Air Peace and LIAT hook up.
The weight of the blame goes to the incompetent, spineless and corrupt Eastern Caribbean Prime Ministers; which the pilots took advantage of.
Caribbean Airlines Limited is saying enough is enought; they are not going the way of LIAT. As the Holiday Season arrives, the pilots want to put a gun to the head of Caribbean Airlines with a threat of work stoppage.
Caribbean Airlines knows the Pilot Union’s game; so they are making a premtive move.
Should they succeed; and with all the other enties into the marketplace, there will be no viable commercial room left for a LIAT 2020
Strange how some people can support your argument, but for whatever reason will pick on little things other then the main message of your comment.

And as you can see I even left in the spelling mistakes. Because the message is clear, don’t need to focus on the little things.

I’m up to your game. Pick on the spelling. I’m suprise you don’t quote a scripture.
I’m not looking for marks on spelling on grammer.
Its all about the facts, the reasoning and the integrity of whats being written..
Interestingly, you dishonestly left out the dead on arrival Air Peace section.
Cerainly to be expected from a member of the intellectualy dishonestly squad.
WHAT’S YOUR LAWS, POLICIES AND REGULATIONS? AND MORE IMPORTANT WHAT YOUR DATA STATERGY, AND WHAT TECHNOGY ARE YOU USING TO GET THERE?
Gaston Browne has bulldozed his way and taken over the narrative as well as the operations of LIAT 1974 during its bankruptcy.
Even though the GOAB is a shareholder; during a bankruptcy filing, shareholders who are now Debtors has little or no say in the operations or future of LIAT 1974 The shareholders authority is subverted to The Bankruptcy Judge and the Receiver.
Now it is quite possible that the bankruptcy Act passed by Cabinet, and created specifically to enable LIAT 1974 to file for bankruptcy protection; is so abnormal that it gives the Debtor (owners of LIAT 1974) continued control during bankruptcy.
Acts created and passed into law, for the subversive benefit of the creators are not unusual. This Act may have given the GOAB the ability to control the affairs of LIAT during the bankruptcy proceedings.
Otherwise, its highly unusual for a debtor to determine what creditors get paid and how much they get paid. In other words, PM Gaston Browne should not be the one determines if the Pilots get paid and how much they get paid.
While PM Gaston Browne can make a compelling case about jobs, LIAT 1974 legacy and its importance to the people of the Eastern Caribbean; the judge’s responsibility is to make whole as much as possible the Debtors.
Debtors may need to take a haircut, but that not PM Browne’s decision. That’s the final decision of the Judge after having heard from the creditors (the Unions and all the other entities that LIAT 1974 is financially obligated to).
