agree with B scale, but leave the allowances out. debit cards are a nightmare(just watch BA crews in sin check in and out. it takes for ever. some crew would have to come down 30 minutes earlier ,yeah, right). roster flexiblity for all categories who want to work more, leave a number of trips in open time for an instant trade or extra work. and definately no to 3 star hotels. have look what that means overseas. there are other options. some taxis may be traded etc
