Sorry to divert the thread away from Ms Hawkins, but TurbTool has got it wrong regarding days off. He has correctly stated that days off OS will be in addition to the minimum days off at home, but what he has missed is the huge gotcha.
Read this clause:
25.1.3 “You will be rostered free of duty at your Home Base for minimum of 9 designated days off in 6 roster periods and 10 rostered days off in 6 roster periods. The minimum number of days off in a roster period for a pilot will be notified to the pilot no later than before the end of the preceding period.”
This says that you will get 9 (or 10) days off over 6 roster periods, that’s a long time, plenty of scope for days off OS.
If you still don’t believe me lets do something simple:
A roster period is a month, so lets replace the word “roster periods” with the word “months”,
So how does this read:
You will be rostered free of duty at your Home Base for minimum of 9 designated days off in 6 Months and 10 rostered days off in 6 Months.
Enjoy all those days off at home boys and girls I'm afraid you were sold a pup, and this is only one of 12 very “questionable” clauses (all coincidentally can be interpreted in the companies favor) in that dirty little document, and remember this rewritten agreement covers narrow body as well, no one is safe!
