Why would we ever improve our offer? It is going to pass.
You don't vote for this, we will make your life here intolerable and your rosters even more displeasing You think it will hurt us? We have the resources to bring YOU to YOUR knees much quicker. And we will do it. Most know we will and will vote FOR the motion. They know what we are capable of.
You have no where to go. We are still the best paying in the industry and very few are leaving.
Make is easy, just vote FOR. We will get what we want.
We can then move onto pay. We believe in Market Forces. We are the Best in the Region and we will be looking to adjust our pay figures inline with the pay scales in this region.
We have done quite well in the last few years in reducing your package, but is not quite over.
After changing your housing policy in 2001 we get better tax credits with Inland Revenue. More of the pilots are paying our tax bill. All your benefits are now cash allowances and YOU pay more tax and we get the credits. Thank you. You have done well. It’s the silent deal we have with the Inland Revenue Department.
We are working with the CAD to implement new AFTL's which will bring Europe to 3 pilot crew in both directions. This 15 hour duty and new 20 hour duty for ULH will help us immensely with our crewing. Pilots have demonstrated (by the use of discretion) that a 15 hour duty ULH is not fatiguing and we will be asking for that 2 hours of discretion taken out. Again, thank you for your input. With aircraft flying longer routes, we don't want to be limited with an 18 hour duty on crew. It is just not good for business.
We will be asking for an increase in Table A of the AFTL’s. We believe that normal tiredness will not be factor by increasing the Table A figures by 1 hour to start with. This will give us more productivity which will reduce cost, increase profits and more importantly our bonuses.
If any pilots have suggestions on how we can improve our quest for more profits and again more importantly our bonuses, please drop by to one of our many open doors.
The Management.
