COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Finnair said on Wednesday it was preparing to cancel some flights on Friday, after the Finnish Air Line Pilots' Association (SLL) rejected a settlement proposal for a collective labour agreement.
SLL will start a standby ban on Finnair pilots on Dec 12, meaning pilots will not come to work from on-call shifts, Finnair said in a statement, adding that there was already an ongoing ban on overtime work.
"When a pilot falls ill, for example, on-call pilots are unavailable and the flight has to be cancelled," the company said.
