Hi scoobydooo,
We had 2 separate pay deals, and some things we negotiated in the first we had to give up in the second, to get a deal. Some of them were only pertinent to our contract and aren't common between the 2 groups of employees, amongst them were:
- Airshare
- To start monthly standby and subsequently lose the guaranteed weekend off
- Vastly reduced day off payments
- The ability for the co. to change some trips and not pay day off payments
- Dispense with restrictions on monthly rostered hours
- Lose the guaranteed fourth crew member on HKG flights
- No buffer days around leave (never set in stone, but definitely gone now)
- Transfer of pension to another scheme that saved the co. money
There are probably others, but those are the ones off the top of my head.
I believe you deserve more. The main point of my first post was to allow informed comparison between other carriers termsand conditions. Good luck guys.
