Reports that national carrier Kenya Airways #ticker:KQ and the pilots’ association have struck a deal allowing the hiring of 30 local and foreign direct entry captains to address a biting shortage is a positive development.
What is most admirable about the agreement is that the two main stakeholders, KQ and the Kenya Airline Pilots Association, sat down and reached a compromise deal. It is clear proof that dialogue can go a long way in resolving many of the disputes that continue to plague our labour sector.
