Pilots have dismissed social media reports of an impending strike, describing the claims as “unfounded and mischievous”.
The posts accused several members of the Trinidad and Tobago Airline Pilots Association (TTALPA) and a People's National Movement official of attempting to disrupt airline operations. They further alleged that an emergency meeting of TTALPA pilots has been scheduled for 2 pm yesterday, claiming it was intended to destabilise the country through a so-called “subtle strike action”.
TTALPA, in a joint statement with the Aviation, Communication and Allied Workers Union (ACAWU), confirmed that a meeting was held between the executive leadership of both unions. However, they said the meeting was not convened to call strike action or to engage in any activity that could threaten national stability.
