Czech Airlines pilots call off strike alert

Czech Airlines pilots have called off a strike alert announced earlier this month, the pilots’ labour union said on Wednesday. The union signed a memorandum with the Czech Aeroholding group on Wednesday approving the transfer of a hundred ČSA pilots to the subsidiary charter firm Holidays Czech Airlines. The union also agreed to accept the offloading of Czech Airlines aircraft to Holidays Czech Airlines within the Czech Aeroholding group. The pilots launched their protest on December 1 and, as a result, Czech Airlines had to cancel 25 flights and hire crews and aircraft from foreign carriers.
