Ha Ha Ha. What do you do there in Incestuous Bay? I was thinking of the other guy not you but thanks for letting us all know how rampant is it over there. Now that’s funny. Can we start a different thread on that alone? It would be interesting indeed.
IMHO in ND’s reign we had 95% of the membership with 94% voting for industrial action: most knowing they will not carry it out. When time came to carry it out, most quit the AOA. For whatever reason they did not have the backbone. Some claimed financial, fear, and ND was an industrial terrorist. Well I guess if you stand up for yourself you are an industrial terrorist. In the end, those that deserted were very happy with their package. Just wish they would have told the rest but then again it's the backbone thingy.
Anyway back to the topic.
So loss of license is still only two years of salary but increased by 5 years to age 60 instead of age 55. Bit misleading in the GMA’s post but that is expected.
Is it possible that the On-shoring is a red herring? Why does someone need to transfer to COS 08 when taking a base? We have provisions in COS 99 and the permanent basing agreement? I think the GMA will have you sign COS 08 by telling you have to sign it. As soon as you sign he’s got you. You signed it voluntarily.
The GMA is giving his opinion that you don’t have a choice and you do under contract law.
I tend to believe the DFO, time to command will decrease with RA65, and I will have all this money in my PF when I retire because I will work longer. He doesn’t lie. Sorry, don't have a smiley for him.
Don’t think local labor laws with protect you with this lot. “We have lost confidence in your ability”; you received three 2’s on your last PC, which was completed by the Flying Training Manager or Chief Pilot. You will be D&G’d and your appeal will have similar results with the GMA. Here is your 3 months.
Don’t think the guys in other base areas with help you. What will the unions do? We had unfair dismissals before and nothing was done. Don’t expect it to change in the future.
Hope the GC is willing to do something, if not it’s curtains for the AOA.
Dare I say it, “time to move to the CPU”? Well I guess members, non-members and the company will label you an Industrialist Terrorist. It will be a Captains only union then, what am I thinking……………………
We will never increase our COS; we are struggling just to hang onto what we have. Seems that some have just accepted it. I assume it does not affect them as they are on a good package. So screw the new pilots going on a base with the new Unified pay scale. Yep, I’m OK. Take a look around young fella, not much better out there so may as well accept it.
