A valid point re the single engine issue.
We are in the guts of an eba and the single engine issue surfaced during a eb negotiation discussion with management.
Basically we were trying to negotiate recognition of penalties for shift work using the multi engine base rate from the ga award. Management retorted with the fact that we couldn't use the multi engine base rate as we only fly single engine aircraft (PC12) with a base rate of about $30500. What an insult it is when management think that they can use the same rate of pay to a novice day vfr cessna 172 pilot to that of an experienced PC12 pilot that flies single pilot, IFR, at night, over water etc. with one fan.
The unfortunate thing about it is that as you say Crash, thats what the award sez so technically they may get away with it.
The AFAP really needs to make it a priority to revamp the GA award and fast.
PS. Watch this space for more on the EB issues
