Bypass pay - expectation management

[Mr. Bloggs]

Well I hope you are telling the AOA this because that is not what they are doing. It doesn’t affect me but the AOA is compromising your contract.

A reminder to all this affects. You are all on INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS and the AOA “CANNOT” negotiate on your behalf. If this goes through everybody below the rank of Captain on COS 99 will have to write a letter preferable from a Barrister that this is a degradation of your contract and you will not accept this.

Ask for a reply so you know they received it, so CX can’t come back and say they never received it. It happened before.

Get your letters into your Barrister now, because you are going to need them.

I can only assume that all the Captains are writing into the AOA saying we need to negotiate this RA55 thing.

Which group has more members???

Not willing to fight for it, then I don’t want to hear any complaining after it is over.

Bypass pay is in your contract, only YOU can allow that change unless they give you a sign or be fired letter. No they wouldn’t do that would they?
