Pilots want strike fund
PA ' Auckland Air New Zealand’s pißits are seeking a way to provide themselves with strike pay. ’ Their spokesman, Captain Jerry Rees-Webbe, said yesterday that if relations with management did not improve there could be strikes, suspensions or even a lock-out. "The airline could get tough and we could need the ability to keep going,” he said. The pilots were therefore looking at the prospect of obtaining bank loans that would provide reduced income from which regular outgoings such as mortgage repayments could be met while they were out of work. Captain Rees-Webbe said the proposal was to put- up a security, perhaps a mortgage on the union’s building. Under a similar system in the United States, the airline pilots’ organisation had paid out more than $lOO million in strike pay during a month-long strike by one airline’s pilots and during another for about 18 months.
