Under the "old" scale pre 1996 we would have lost a payment for the P&W JT9eng and presumably 747-200/300 A/F and ENG (shortly). This would leave those with QF international licences no better off than if they lost payment for those redundant licences and gained a payment for the A380.
For those guys who wouls argue that they don't have the 747 Cassic licence or the JT9- you guys have had at least one and probably two regrades despite no training that you wouldn't have had otherwise. u can't have your cake and it it too!! much as I would like!!
yes you are so right we have had regrades and redundant licences but may i say who wanted the lame pay structure so badly ,the company and we voted they accepted when it suited them so know it suits us ill have a black forest thanks
