I am sure the company would be happy with the interim fallaback and then eventually the AFTLS, they may however have taken a lot of flack if they went straight into it after the last vote of 56% voting for RP07.
But what they would absolutley love is for the AOA membership to vote for the fallback and any time anyone complains about the roster....well I can almost hear Hoyland and Walker saying "Don't blame us , blame the AOA, we were happy to give you RP07"
As I have said before the AOA has been trying for years to get RP's into the COS and whilst RP 07 is not totally enshrined into the COS the major components of the 84 hour threshold and credit factors, EFP rates etc will go into COS if the vote is succesful. Problems do exist with WORK STACKING and RESERVE management, however on balance RP 07 offers more control over ones lifestyle than any other system CX has ever had.
3 man crewing on ULR is cleary defined in RP07 and agreed at a factor of 1.14. I would bet my home that come the end of the fallback agreed period all those unlucky enought to working at CX then will be doing 3 man ULR with no 543 protection and no RP negotiated agreement.
Vote on rostering on the issue of rostering, not a protest over the lack of a pay rise, you will be hurting yourself more than the company, they can live with RP 01, RP94 or the AFTLS as they imposed all of them on their terms....RP 07 at least has some or our terms in it.
I hope the dopey 250 members who failed to vote last time put one in this time, if it is not to much trouble!
