My dear megle2, should I ever find myself back down there, I will -- again.
EAC (defunct) paid me above award in my first C210 job. We even got 100% entitlements when it fell over. That was a C210 job!
Hardy paid me full-time, straight award and all the allowances.
AirNorth -- self plus 4 others were the first AirNorth pilots to be presented with AWA's. These required us to buy our endorsements from a third party. Three weeks, a bunch of phonecalls and a few letters later Bridgey paid for the upgrade.
So what's your excuse now, megle2?
