Icelandair says it's letting go of all its flight attendants — and shifting their duties to the pilots


Quote
Icelandair announced Friday that it would be laying off all its flight attendants, ending a labor dispute with the crew members' union that began last month.

In the unprecedented move, the airline said it planned to have its pilots temporarily assume flight attendants' roles overseeing the safety of those onboard, starting July 20.

"Icelandair will permanently terminate the employment of its current cabin crew members and permanently discontinue the employment relationship between the parties," Icelandair said in a statement.

Considering all of the airline employees being laid off I can imagine the pilots considering this a favor to them.

They won’t be doing it long. They will hire non-union flight attendants

Labor dispute, huh? Sounds to me like someone whined one too many times.

Sit down, shut up, strap in, stop whining, and don't even think you can puke in my airplane.

Hand out beers at the door, give instructions and wheels up. Anyone acts stupid do a quick dive and watch what happens to anyone out of their seats.

Anyone in the airline industry still getting a check should keep their heads down and be thankful.

Exactly. United has already started "laying" people off. They are restructuring the groups and letting you know if you still have a job in September or October. If you don't, they are basically giving you 2 months to find a new job. They are trying to say that since they aren't officially laying you off until Sept/Oct, they are following the layoff requirements that were in place if you took Covid money.


Thanks,
Rich
