Air Peace has sacked about 70 pilots and implemented pay cuts ranging from one per cent to 40 per cent in a bid confirmed the termination of some of its pilots contracts across its fleet.
According to a statement issued by the Spokesperson, Stanley Olisa, the management of the airline linked the disengagement of the pilots contract to the devastating impact of COVID-19 pandemic.
“This decision was taken for the greater good of the company and its almost 3000 workforce, the affected pilots inclusive. It said, “We decided to review the salaries being paid to all staff. The new salaries reflect a 0 per cent to 40 per cent cut of the former salary depending on the salary grades of every staff.
It should be recalled that the pilots on July 22 had reportedly protested a major pay cut after negotiations with the management over their remuneration broke down.
