Exiting Long Haul crew that want to go to the A380 Division will be able to do so during start up (approx 2 years /4 A/c) then if they want to stay they can or return to our world.
The A380 work rules will essentially model the london rules. except overtime will be payable after 12 hours in a duty like us and additional hours will be paid over 240. crew will average about 220 hours a roster in A380 and may be less depending on schedule etc.. london crew currently work about 210.
Crew going over will have salary maintenance and the top up amounts will be outlined in the new EBA for for all ranks i think it looks pretty ok. Plus they will get our meal allowance formula and cash allowances like us.
initially the company would like 100% CSM and CSS for A380 to come from our world and if they cant get them to transfer over they will offer promotions in A380 to existing Long Haul crew b4 looking elsewhere.
At start up they want about 20% of the flight attendant category to come from the existing crew and then recruit new hires on the new rates of pay to offset the addtional cost of the salary protected long haul crew.
After 2 years crew that go over to A380 will be able to come back or choose to stay in A380. Ongoing post start up 20% of current long haul crew will be able to go to A380 on Salary protected conditions. also if they are promoted in A380 they continue to get the salary protections based on current long Haul conditions.
essentially any current long haul crew member that either goes to A380 and gets promoted, or get promoted directly from our world to A380 in a promoted position will get salary maintenance arrangements.
if the number of crew that want to go over is greater than the numbers required then a merit selection process will take place.
In respect to the regional slipping formula it will only apply to patterns of 6 days or less bounded by a 3 hour time change of sydney. hawaii and India are out. Any port outside of the three hour rule will activate the standard 1;1;2 which is a minimum planned 70 hours rest over 3 slips effectively. Any pattern planned in excess of 6 days will also attract the 1.1.2 formula.
the new regional formual of planned rest must have a MINUMUM of 50 hours rest in any three slips standing alone. Currently short haul do it wil 36 hours standing alone.
Of course the minimum rest provsions have not changed and you which are night hours plus planned flight - Min 12 max 20 rule applies. Most Asian patterns are straight up, slip and then back, but there will be some that are not and to those the new regional formula will apply.
the New formula was essential in the negotiations in order to get the Regional Flying Back or it would have stayed where it currently resides
Hope this answers the questions and obviously crew should attend one of the 20 or so meetings being run by the FAAA or company meetings to get further intricate detail
