The crap rate for overtime is a continuation of the current deal with the change that the rate increases after 75 hours which is a deterrent from the current deal. Additionally the rate kicks in at a lower threshold which is of zero advantage to the company.
How you have been treated in the past is ZERO indication of how you can / will be treated in the future.
All it takes is one bright spark in management with a great new idea. So if it’s not written in your EA, don’t count on it!
Just ask the group Freighter Pilots
