CY pilots

Sir,
I cannot believe the attitude of the pilots’ union. I travel to Cyprus frequently and always prefer to use Cyprus Airways. But am I going to book my next flight with CY knowing that the flight may be subject to the ‘action’ of these guys?

I don’t think so! I’ll use another airline.

Another nail in the coffin of Cyprus Airways. And I won’t blame the company, it will be the pilots’ fault.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
