It is not an “extension” which would by definition be an extended term on your current conditions.
Individual renegotiation of your remuneration package just creates yet another set of employees on a different package. It also accelerates the race to POS18 as you never really know what the guy before you accepted! The company love this cretinous and greedy behaviour!
Some may even classify it as direct entry captain recruitment?
Name and shame perhaps?
I don't think this warrants name and shame. We already have one pilot on D scale which he negotiated himself. It merely shows how desperate the fleet offices are getting. Private deals might suit some but they will be private deals so cannot be tolerated by the union or other pilots. God knows what other aspects of a private deal would entail ? Reporting flightdeck conversations perhaps. Who likes a drink down route. Who bad mouths the company.
