But, taking into account the QD basic pay is a lot less than DJ basic pay, right??? 35k vs what, 40 or 45???
Plus we don't get paid for every hour on reserve, it's a 1 in 4 unless called out in which case you get paid for each hour actually worked
I was not intending to compare the two agreements.
I was putting forward what I thought was a good idea that Virgin Blue should be considering as part of the current EBA proposals, which as it stands is all take and not a lot of give. Which is why I think a Duty Hour Penalty would be a way for them to give us something, in return of us giving them more hours and flexibility etc etc.
