Now you might ask why remove a redundancy section from a contract at a time when it became increasingly more likely redundancies would be made...
When a contract is made worse (removing the LIFO Redundancy clause) it only applies to those who agree to it (new joiner), so this alteration does not apply to existing crew on POS18. I suspect what has happened is that the company accepts that LIFO applies and that they are not happy about it, so from now on it won't apply to new crew. Over time it will disappear from the contracts, so when we are in the **** in the future the company won't have to worry about LIFO, they will just fire those they don't like.
If one searches for COS18 on IntraCX the COS and Handbook can be downloaded. They really are a POS. Only two types of crew would accept this COS: the desperate and the inexperienced. In the Handbook the company claims they can amend the COS as they see fit and that the COS is bench marked against other carries and is competitive. Two very dubious claims.
