Newcomer Another Strike at Aeroparque

[legend]

Strike, delays, and cancellations affecting over 6,500 at Aeroparque who can't travel...how frustrating. Hopefully, they reach an agreement with the government soon.

Ya son 6.500 los pasajeros rehenes de asambleas sindicales que no pueden viajar desde Aeroparque

I think privatizing Aerolíneas Argentinas might be a solution to these recurring union issues. It could lead to better management, more efficiency, and less political influence, which might help fix some of the ongoing problems. Of course, it’s important to balance improving operations with keeping flights accessible and affordable for passengers.

My cousin was supposed to travel today, but luckily this issue is only at Aeroparque. Everything is running normally at Ezeiza.

It looks like the strike is continuing because they still haven't reached an agreement.

Más de 20 vuelos afectados por medidas sindicales en Aeroparque

Definitely it sounds like privatizing Aerolineas Argentina is a good option. I'm just not sure there would be anyone interested if they can't even make it with tons of government support. Also I just read another thread that said consumption is worst than during covid. Are people still flying around much in Argentina?

Another strike at Aeroparque, and once again, chaos due to cancellations... It's time they resolve their internal issues and stop holding passengers hostage.

Nuevo paro salvaje de los gremios aeronáuticos: fuerte malestar de los pasajeros en Aeroparque por vuelos demorados y cancelados

Aerolíneas Argentinas reprogramará varios vuelos hasta que finalice el paro parcial. La Asociación de Pilotos de Líneas Aéreas anunció medidas de fuerza hasta las 11 horas en el aeropuerto metropolitano. Intercargo hace asambleas informativas de 9 a 12

Good decision by the government: they've declared commercial air transport an essential service. This means people's transportation will be guaranteed during strike days. I think the government had enough after the strike by the Kirchnerist unions last Friday. Excellent move!

It seems like the airport strikes are never-ending. Another strike is planned for tomorrow, but the good news is that the government has started imposing fines.

Otro paro salvaje en Aerolíneas Argentinas: afectaría a 270 vuelos y a más de 28 mil pasajeros

La nueva medida de fuerza comenzará mañana, viernes, y paralizará la actividad en los principales aeropuertos por 24 horas. Los gremios de pilotos endurecen el conflicto con el Gobierno, que ya aplicó multas y descuentos

They should fire all of these Aerolineas employees and just start all over. There are plenty of people that would take their jobs. I read today that the Aerolineas Argentinas pilots and their family members were able to pre-reserve award business class tickets free up to 45 days in advance. Now they can only get a seat if there are seats available when the aircraft is taking off. This should help the airline save $20 million USD per year.

Too bad they just don't privatize the airline. 0% raises until they stop losing money. That is the way it should be.

Sturzenegger underlines new conditions for Aerolíneas Argentinas strikes

Argentine Deregulation Minister Federico Sturzenegger recalled that, as per President Javier Milei's Decree 831/24, the aviation industry had become a basic service and therefore the right to unrestricted strikes grounding all flights would no longer be possible. Sturzenegger made those remarks...

There will be another strike at the airport tomorrow. I hope Milei's measure goes into effect as he said, declaring it an essential service. From what I understand, the measure is already in place. This just seems never-ending.

They're resisting the government's measures and have teamed up with Moyano. It really feels like there's no end to this.

Los sindicatos resisten el anuncio del Gobierno sobre Aerolíneas y lanzan una mesa gremial del transporte junto a Pablo Moyano

Pablo Biró y Juan Pablo Brey, de pilotos y aeronavegantes, armaron una estructura sindical con camioneros, ferroviarios, colectiveros y marítimos para enfrentar las políticas de Javier Milei, mientras harán asambleas esta tarde para decidir nuevas medidas

Did you hear about the pilot who was harassed and then fired for refusing to go on strike? The bullying and mistreatment he faced were so cruel that he ended up hospitalized from a stress-induced spike in blood pressure. It’s embarrassing to see adults behave like this. The worst part is that the union used him as an example to intimidate others who shared the same opinion.

Aerolineas is a joke. Probably should just shut down the airline and start all over again as a private entity.

 

[Vince]

Sounds like they are talking to other airlines to pick up the slack from these flights that are affected by the strike. Smart move.

Buenos Aires holds talks with Gol regarding Aerolineas Argentinas' future

Argentina's Cabinet Chief Guillermo Francos and Economy Minister Luis Toto Caputo met Friday with representatives from the Brazilian airline Gol to discuss the possible handover of Aerolíneas Argentinas operations amid threats of additional strikes by pilots and cabin crewmembers. Earlier this...

This chaos at Aeroparque seems to have no end. A friend of mine found out today that his flight was canceled. I hope the authorities address the issue soon, because we’ve been dealing with this for months now.

Here's the solution as requested, haha: At the government's request, unions will have to present a work plan to ensure the company operates without conflicts. Otherwise, the Executive will ask for a Preventive Crisis Plan. We'll see if these union leaders are capable of handling the situation, considering that all they've been doing lately is causing problems.

Ultimátum del Gobierno a los gremios por Aerolíneas: el viernes deberán presentar una propuesta o cierra la empresa

Según explicaron a Infobae, los sindicatos tendrán que mostrar un plan de trabajo para que la compañía opere sin conflictos. Caso contrario, el Ejecutivo pedirá el Plan Preventivo de Crisis

The chaos continued today, and with passengers held hostage by the situation, there were passengers trapped on a plane unable to take off or disembark. I think legal action could be taken against these workers, and this could even be classified as kidnapping.

Conflicto en Intercargo: otra vez hubo pasajeros atrapados en un avión sin despegar ni poder bajar

Esta vez se demoró un vuelo de Flybondi a Bariloche. Hoy, el ministerio de Economía echó a 15 empleados de Intercargo por situaciones similares que se dieron ayer

[Leo]

They won’t feel like playing with people anymore; those employees were fired, and I think it’s perfect! This will serve as a precedent so that future employees don’t behave this way.

El Gobierno despidió a 15 empleados de Intercargo por no dejar bajar pasajeros de los aviones

Así lo informó el ministro de Economía, Luis Caputo, a través de su cuenta de X. La empresa presentó una denuncia por el delito de privación de la libertad contra la Asociación del Personal Aeronáutico
