As it deals with a slump in international air travel, KLM has come up with an innovative way of balancing a payroll full of under-employed pilots with the seasonal need for more ground staff. The airline wrote at the end of May to its 2,000 pilots who fly from Schiphol airport proposing the voluntary scheme, which it said would also allow the pilots to get a glimpse 'behind the scenes'. KLM said: 'We've had an enormously good reaction. The idea is to avoid hiring temporary staff.' Two jobs the pilots are being asked to cover are 'baggage recovery agents' in the arrivals hall and 'hospitality agents' in the airline's business class lounges. Pilots who enrol will receive their normal pay and benefits. The savings will come from hiring fewer temporary staff.
