Let me first start off by saying that I am in fact a NAS 737 pilot. I am also a proud member of bALPA (uk Alpa)

Background:
I initially agreed with the ALPA campaign to deny NAI. I personally didn't like the fact that NAI was basing all of the 787 pilots in Bangkok working under a Singaporean law. I too saw this as a way for the NAI to prevent any form of union participation from its pilots. The 787 pilots apparently didn't seem to mind this to much themselfs on the grounds that they would much rather be paying Singaporian income taxes rather then the Scandinavia equvulant.
The latest developments are that Norwegian is going to be basing its 787 pilots in LGW effective in a month or two time. This will in-turn also necessitate UK employment contracts.

I personally see this as a victory for alpa. The offshore contracts/ social dumping situation will be a thing of the past.
This is however not new news; ALPA must have been aware of this.
So why continue to fight for denial of NAI?
ALPA has achieved its goal, right?
