The major benefit I see with this deal is that everyone knows what is being paid for a duty. For months we've seen people do duties on other watches,( obviously not including spins), and not knowing what they've been offered in return by a desperate management.
I also feel that "flexible" working by the NTT over the last few years has not helped the situation for the future.
I'm also not sure how we get around the fatigue argument when people were allowed to sell back DIL which were travel days allocated SPECIFICALLY to alleviate fatigue caused by long term commuting.People shouuld have been insisting that they be allowed to take these days, and if neccessary carry over additional AL days instead.
I do believe that we've established a generally good rate for the task, but would like to see a differential between an operational and non-op attendance-around an extra 30-40% would seem reasonable to me.
