Mentioned this to my GP after a game of tennis, he said it was an easy fix do you want a certificate for 5 or 7 day’s, a 14 day one would involve a nice bottle of red.
From a source at QF.
Effectively whilst the pilot is 'paid' a trip credit for example the equivalent of 6 hours flying the TOD might be say 11 hours.
Qantas have 'decided' that they will deduct 11 hours from the 76 hours. Therefore were the pilot to
fall sick on bigger duty days their ANNUAL sick leave quotient is expended in around six or seven days not 10.
Qantas it would seem owe their pilots a substantial amount of compensation.
