Norsk kaptein valgt som ny sjef for 100.000 piloter
Flykaptein Jack Netskar er valgt til ny leder for det internasjonale fygerforbundet IFALPA. Han er samtidig nestleder i Norsk Flygerforbund.
På det internasjonale flygerforbundets kongress ble norske Jack Netskar valgt som ny leder.
Det internasjonale flygerforbundet IFALPA har mer enn 100.000 medlemmer i nesten 100 land. Det har sitt hovedkvarter i Canada og skal nå ledes av den norske flykapteinen Jack Netskar.
– IFALPA kan ikke stoppe liberaliseringen, men vi kan påpeke de negative konsekvensene. Det er viktig for oss, sier Jack Netskar til tidsskriftet Fri fagbevegelse.
– Du kan kalle det en demontering av regelverket, eller begrensninger i regelverket, sier han om liberaliseringen som finner sted.
Den nyvalgte lederen for verdens piloter sier også at det vil være viktig å beholde kvaliteten på den tekniske siden.
– Flyselskapene har hatt tilgang til mange gode piloter. Yrket har vært preget av profesjonalitet. Det er i denne forbindelse mange elementer å ta tak i for IFALPA, blant annet tilgangen til markedet og reglene for eierskap, sier han til samme tidsskift.
Netskar mener det vil være viktig å ta hensyn til arbeidstakerne i den pågående prosessen, og at det er en utfordring med «atypiske og til og med falske ansettelsesmodeller, og piloter på null timers kontrakter».
– En reell flysikkerhetsutfordring i dagens luftfart, mener han.
Den nyvalgte lederen for pilotenes verdensorganisasjon er fortsatt nestleder i Norsk Flygerforbund (NF) som har vært tilknyttet LO siden 2015.
