Simple solution to all your woes. Advise the QF IR Team of the following non negotiable ‘Strategic Imperatives’:
1. An increase to the work on a Day off Payment to $1,200.
2. Include an allowance for any duty changes within 14 days of at least $500.
3. Increase the number of days off per roster period.
4. Improve protections around days off - 2 RDOs equal at least 65 hours free of duty.
5. The ability to refuse any duty changes within 14 days.
Failure to meet these non negotiable strategic imperatives in 14 days will result in PIA which will include refusing to work days off. Refusal of all MELs and full approaches flown including hold on every sector.
Do this and you’ll have a somewhat respectable EA within 6 weeks.
