Ahhh the faaa comes back with it's usual retort but little fact...
Under the current formula the allowances are based on a restaurant that the company and union agree to use within the confines of the hotel.In this case the company even nominated the restaurant ,so that is a no brainer.
The formula then works out that the daily allowance should be a lot higher than the one agreed to by the faaa.....When the union has the right to go for the acceptable amount why did they go for the lesser amount...
The AKL crew are flat out doing the flying they have been allocated and indeed must be stretched if you look at some of the slips in NRT such as I just have (80 hours at times for AKL crew) how are they going to be doing all of our States trips....
Argusmoon ...I did not take VR because I like the job and want to continue and as such have an interest in what the faaa is or is not doing.I want to know why the faaa continues to roll over..but then again if that is all you know what to do then stick with it
