So when you say ‘pay cut’ you don’t mean from what crew are currently paid, you mean from the non existent pay that you wish crew to be paid under the legacy award; conditions that aren’t being offered, will never be offered, and likely see these sorts of ULH routes unprofitable so that they won’t exist. I agree that what is being offered is less than the legacy terms and conditions but legacy conditions were never designed with this sort of flying in mind.
Based on a full roster, an A330/A350 pilot looks to be paid 15% more than they are currently for an extra 3-5% more stick hours. They also avoid an external entity under mining them for ever more.
Calling that a ‘pay cut’ is the sort of logic that Labor uses when they call any LNP education spending less than theirs as a ‘cut’. It’s propaganda when Labor does it and it’s propaganda when you do it.
Oh and the name calling is a nice touch. Always know someone is on solid ground when they resort to that sort of thing.
(Oh and your night credit calculation depends on the schedule. It may be as much as 8 credit hours, it may be as little as 5:20. The company offer for a LHR trip will be worth 42.5)
