Pilots association denies members planning strike action

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC - The Leeward Islands Airline Pilots Association (LIALPA) says its members are not involved in any industrial action as the Antigua-based airline, LIAT, deals with a number of problems including flight cancellations in recent days. LIALPA said it had also taken objection to remarks made by the airline’s chief executive. Brunton had indicated that the cash-strapped company would not have had to further deepen its cash flow problems by, “pulling in contract crews which we may not need, if everybody puts their pedal to the wheel.”
