I believe the sharing of accommodation is still happening but you would need to talk to someone in the abode to confirm. It would seem to break the requirements of CAP371 and the RBA FTL scheme if that is the case in that it would be very difficult to obtain legal rest before a 1900 report when your mate is watching the footie on the box all afternoon.
But that is the least of RBA's worries right now. I received a PM a few hours ago advising that Terms and Conditions were likely to change .......for the worse. Tech crew likely to lose the incidental allowance element of the flying allowance and also looking at reducing annual leave. What the silly so and so's dont realise is that reducing the leave wont achieve anything as most pilots are nudging 900 hours anyway and that reducing the allowances (again) will just drive more experience away.
Time to sack the board and start again with people who realise that
1. You have to speculate (invest) to accumulate.
2. You can frig the figures in the short term by selling off the family silver and thereby letting the CEO claim his bonus. But when he's cashed his cheque and scarpered you are left with nothing. Anyone remember Ansett?
3. You get far more out of an intelligent professional workforce if you treat them with respect and reward their skills. As opposed to continually degrading Terms and Conditions until everyone "toes the party line." It aint gonna happen this time fellas!
