Cool

Gee'z Red, bit sensative are we?

One thing l would like to clarify.

AN pilots were paid more than NZ pilots per type. However, AN pilots award was ten times more flexible than NZ's, and under a common agreement throughout the fleet, as opposed to the ten(?) different awards and variations in between that each NZ pilot was working under. That must be a scheduling and crewing nightmare! And as a result you get paid less. Less hours less money, more hours more money. If you work at NZ you probably enjoy a very good lifestyle that your contract has given you. So enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't be long before Sir Selwyn does the fire sale to buy that villa in the south of France he has always wanted.

If anyone should be sensative, maybe it should be me as l lost my job yesterday, but hey, another door opens.
