Before the fall, about thirty fighter pilots went on leave due to dissatisfaction with pensions, working conditions and wages.
Despite the fact that the Armed Forces came up with proposals for measures, helicopter pilots have also chosen to go.
- The main reason is how the Armed Forces have treated the situation that has arisen.
Progress has been made, but it is too little and too slow, says Per-Martin Sternevi, chairman of FPI, the Defense Pilots' Interest Organisation.
Temporarily back
Now a number of pilots have returned, but not all of them believe that the working situation has improved.
Some of them are only back temporarily.
- We have a new situation with inflation, increased interest rates and electricity bills.
Many of them have houses and children, and have ended up in a situation where they cannot afford to study, says Per-Martin Sternevi.
Requires quick action
Now he wants to see that the Armed Forces act quickly and understand the seriousness of coming up with a long-term solution, where salaries are raised.
- You have to do something before you lose these individuals, who have cost the taxpayers several millions to train.
