The Trinidad and Tobago Airline Pilots Association (TTALPA) said recent comments made to the media about pilot resignations were misleading and the comments were not authorised by the union's executive.

TTALPA was responding to a Guardian article on Monday which quoted the union as saying pilots were resigning in droves because the State had filed an industrial relations offence against TTALPA which could result in the union being decertified.

In a statement on Tuesday, TTALPA said, “The executive council of TTALPA did not authorise any individual to disseminate such misleading information. TTALPA considers the situation to be unfortunate as we value our relationship with members of the media.”

TTALPA said it acknowledged the pilots’ concerns and relationships with Caribbean Airlines Ltd (CAL).

“It is important to correct the misconception that these matters are related to any ongoing court actions. We note that over the past few years a number of pilots have resigned from CAL for career enhancement opportunities and better working conditions. The departure of pilots would be of concern to the association, since a depletion of experienced pilots can have an adverse effect on the safety culture of any airline.”

TTALPA said its chairman Cpt Craig Rahamut, the executive council, and CAL’s CEO Garvin Medera continue to collaborate productively to enhance the relationship between the company and the pilots. It said all concerns were discussed in a recent meeting, and the CEO and his team had pledged to address them amicably for the benefit of both parties.

“TTALPA urges the media to verify information directly from the chairman or secretary of the association before publishing or transmitting any article. All releases from TTALPA will be directly communicated from our office.”

In a further comment to Newsday via Whatsapp, Rahamut said, "the decertification rumours came about out of fear from a pending industrial relations offence (IRO). CAL has an application of an IRO as a result of that weekend of reported sickout."

Promoting reading among youngsters is a constant work in progress for the NGC Bocas Lit Fest, through programmes like its annual Children’s Festival and Storytelling Caravan. This month, in collaboration with early literacy advocacy NGO Let’s Read TT, the NGC Bocas Lit Fest relaunches its Family Reading Circle events for children aged seven and under.

The first of the monthly Family Readings Circles will take place at the Writers Centre, 14 Alcazar Street, St Clair, on October 14 from 10 am-12 noon. The event creates a reading zone with books from the Let’s Read library, where parents and caregivers can bring their children to an interactive reading session, with the aim of promoting a love for reading among children with the support of family participation.

Melvina Hazard, children’s programme manager, Bocas Lit Fest, said, “The Family Reading Circle events provide an avenue for parents and guardians who wish to encourage their children to read, and are willing to spend the time and effort in a space with like-minded people with the same purpose in mind.”

Suzette Cadiz, co-founder of Let’s Read TT, adds that the monthly event brings to fruition her desire for children from infancy to primary school to have access to books and become lifelong learners. It is the first step in the path to making this a reality – one book, one child at a time.

The Writers Centre is also home to Paper Based Bookshop – a long-standing, unique independent bookseller crammed with books for both children and adults, of every genre. Bianca Peake, Paper Based manager, said that the bookshop is excited to partner with Bocas Lit Fest and Let’s Read TT to add value to the literary landscape while facilitating the needs of parents, guardians, and children with an interest in reading.

The Family Reading Circle events are free and open to all, and will take place once a month.
