Well, well, well.....
The proverbial has hit/is about to hit the fan I feel. Just back from a three day trip and it was incredibly interesting chatting with my own crew and crew on turnarounds. Except for very few, the general feeling is one of 'we have looked/are in the process of looking at the document and we don't like what we see'.
I am yet to find some time (today at some point, I hope) to sit down and really look at the nitty gritty, but from what I already know:
Overtime paid on 10.5 hours and above as opposed to 9 hours now (NO THANKS)
My friend, an Ad Hoc, has to work more hours for less money (in most cases)
The whole allowances issue
......and I am yet to digest it properly!!
One of my crew members ran some allowances scenarios and found there was def no average of $115. Yes, it may increase slightly,
however, we should have received an overnight increase anyway AND NOW we are getting no crew meals (I think most guys would have eaten them anyway, but that is beside the point)
I will get back in here after some detailed study......
VOTE NO - I know it is certainly not something I will be sticking around for!!
Cheers,
bvb
