Just a point. A few years ago a BRK contract pilot had 5/5 roster. They received allowances for all flying days to cover expenses. There was then a change to 5/3 and an allocated base. (didn't matter if you lived there or not and still incurred expecnses.) This resulted, based on 900hrs pa, in a loss of net income (allowances) of 9000euros pa. It would seem that they been given a 5/4 roster, which is worse than their original 5/5 and the 10% pay rise will give them back 10260 (based on 900 hrs). Thus the pay rise is really 1260euros. As the 10260 is salary and taxable it is much less than the non-taxable 9000euros which was taken away, and the days off are less than original. So is this such a good deal relative to the T's & C's of 3 years ago?
