The AFAP never negotiated for any of that...
You said that,
Wiz - not I!
And you are correct - ALL of the conditions under which we worked, had been previously negotiated, agreed upon by BOTH sides, and signed. "Negotiated" meaning trade-offs...give and take on both sides.
That
Ansett didn't
elect to fully utilise the conditions their negotiators had gained for them was their business.
The pilots were obligated to do as they were directed to, under the mutually agreed contract of employment - often we WOULD give extra, at no penalty to the company...and it worked well, for over 30 years.
That they couldn't survive more than 11 years with you guys, sure as hell says something!!
