I thought "Appointment Allowance" was for an appointment hence always applicable if the post was held. Will trainers get a letter from HR changing their status every time they are entitled to the month of line flying?
I suppose the next thing is leave will be considered as non-appointment holding.
I cant see how this is really going to work anyway. Interacting with the bidding system, leave, sickness etc. will turn up more grey areas and opportunities for system abuse by one or other party. More chaos and discontent in the offing.
As most trainers stick with it because they need the money (certainly not the rosters or days off!) I cant see too many volunteering for a pay cut every so often. You would think they would offer a retainer at the very least.
What a joke. Order lots of aircraft then slap the trainers in the same week. At least their HR skills are consistent......
