Czech Television: Czech pilots to sue army for tens of millions of crowns

More than 40 pilots are planning to sue the Czech army for wages they say they have not been paid. Czech Television reported on Saturday that the amount the pilots are seeking runs into the tens of millions of crowns. The plaintiffs say that they were only paid for 12 hours work when on foreign and reconnaissance missions, when they were in fact on 24-hour watch. A spokesperson for the army told Czech Television that the pilots had been paid everything that they were owed. Meanwhile, the Defence Ministry has said that it does not have enough information to comment.
