So really we agree, pilots are stoopid, but the EA isn’t as bad as you make it out. If they were smart they’d use the EA to their advantage and get on the IPD train, just need to insist on it being rerostered within 7 days as the EA says.
I am constantly disappointed in my colleagues lack of understanding of their industrial rights. The peeps I work with don’t even know their own EBA, it’s no wonder we have such a terrible rep. Pull you socks up kids, read you EA and stand up for yourself. Unless of course there’s a giant, KY smothered pole in front of you. In which case fill your slippery boots! I’ll enjoy watching the antics haha!
They don't get $160 for a day off? You're right. They get like double that... $320-ish, don't they? Why would you bother getting out of bed at 3am for that?
