flungdung, that's right,
i was pointing out that the crewies are getting a lot more pay than an industry co pilot is getting currently under the award, so you would have to think that the co pilots wages should be raised rather than the crewies being lowered, either way it is a problem as i don't think this has been allowed for in the new eba under consideration.
some interesting news may be forthcoming.
there is a bit of head shaking going on in bris vegas
ps. both brisbane and townsville declined the task that ended up rescuing the capricorn crew because the standard operating procedures in place at emq strictly prohibits night winches over water. if i remember one machine had auto hover the other did not. capricorn did not have any such procedures.
