Libyan militia building mercenary air force, rivals claim
(04.05.2017)
From February 2015, the Ukrainian Glissada company, specialising in the supply of spare parts for airplanes and helicopters of various nations, began looking for pilots and technicians with experience on the Mirage F1 for full-time jobs in Africa.
The final client was Libya Dawn, via the Caravana Middle East company based in Jordan and directed by a US-Jordanian, Rami Ghanem Najm, according to MEE‘s source. Najm was arrested in December 2015 in Greece on an international arrest warrant and extradited to the US on arms trafficking charges.
The first two foreign mercenaries appeared in Misrata in June 2015. One of them refused to bomb LNA troops and left. The other – an Ecuadorian, reinforced by technicians of the same country – carried out several air strikes against LNA forces, then Islamic State militants in the Sirte region.

Schluss mit billig!
Hinzu kommt, dass die bis Ende 2017 als »gewerkschaftsfrei« geltende Fluggesellschaft nach wiederholten Arbeitsniederlegungen der irischen Piloten Ende Juli angekündigt hatte 300 Arbeitsplätze in Irland vernichten und Teile der Flotte ins Niedriglohnland Polen verlegen zu wollen. Höchste Zeit also, sich international gegen Lohndumping, Leiharbeit und Scheinselbständigkeit zu wehren. Noch besser wäre es, wenn sich die Gewerkschaften auch endlich dazu aufraffen könnten, Piloten und Flugbegleiter gemeinsam zum Streik aufzurufen. Doch das dürfte noch ein weiter Weg sein, wie das Beispiel BRD zeigt: Während hierzulande die Piloten von der VC vertreten werden, streiten sich die Gewerkschaft Verdi und die Unabhängige Flugbegleiterorganisation (UFO) um die Zuständigkeit für das Bordpersonal.

Ryanair: Auch Piloten in Deutschland streikbereit
Ein großer Teil der Piloten, die bei Ryanair fliegen, ist nicht fest bei dem Konzern angestellt, sondern gezwungen, eine Ich-AG zu gründen. Das Online-Magazin Airliners.de schreibt, laut Ryanair beträfe dies „weniger als 50 Prozent“ der eigenen Piloten, aber: „vor einigen Jahren lag der Satz noch bei rund 30 Prozent“. Das heißt, die Zahl der nicht fest bei Ryanair angestellten Piloten hat sich in den letzten Jahren weiter erhöht.
Wer bei Ryanair anheuert, ist europaweit mit Zeitarbeit, Scheinselbständigkeit und ungesicherten Arbeitsverhältnissen konfrontiert.
