I don't envy the long flights that the 757 does, but then again we do night RHO, CFU, HER, TFS etc on the FBW and the 757 does actually do AGP, ALC etc.
The main problem is the total hours per year done by different fleets.
The average is 600ish hrs in the company. I've done 800hrs per year since I started. This means that somebody is not going to work very much.
I did speak to one 757 FO last year who did know people who would bid to get on the FBW, but it was only to get the type rating so they could leave.
The pay deal essentially is:
4.6% backdated to april.
0.75% in Nov
Upto 2% on top of that for the lower F/O grades
Pension upto 12.5%. employee contributes 8.33%. Salary sacrifice to gain companies NI contribution.
Next year RPI + 1.5%
Year after that a starting point for negotiation of RPI and Flight pay introduced at 2.25 per flight hour captain. 1.50 for F/O
6 week rosters.
2 becoming 4 selectable block window protected days.
Days off over 2 years go's upto 10 in 28 with 2 flexi (sell back days)
Extra for trainers.
May have forgot stuff but it's basically what I've written.
FIS.
Hopefully with the change in management a new rostering system is a higher priority.
