Duty Hour Penalty
If they want us to work more hours, fine, but there needs to be more incentive to do so.
I came accross this in the Qantas Domestic pty ltd agreement. For those not familiar, Qantas Domestic pty ltd is the new company that Qantas has established to employ Flight Attendants on lesser wages etc that it's current staff employed directly through the airline. If they can manage to have somehthing like the following, surely we can. Something like this would make me look twice at what they're currently offering.
Duty hour penalty (DHP)
20.5.1. In addition to the base salary, flight attendants must be paid the following duty hour penalty (DHP) per hour, in accordance with the following fomula, depending on the time and day of their dty. The amount is calculated by multiplying the dollar value for a point by the number of points.
