How the devil is in the detail.
44.3 A380 Roster
44.3.1 A number of pre-agreed roster arrangements may be able to be utilised by the Company with respect to its A380 operations. These roster arrangements will be:
44.3.1 (a) 9.5 hour, 7 days
44.3.1 (b) 10.9 hour, 7 days
44.3.1 (c) 12 hour, 38 hour week roster, 7 days. (Note: This may include a 12 hour hybrid of not more than 12 hours per shift which may be necessary to round off the 38 hours)
44.3.1 (d) Any of the above rosters inclusive of an RDO (i.e. 40 hours week)
44.3.2 As some of the above are 38 hour per week rosters there is no accrual of an RDO in those rosters. Payments for the above rosters will be in accordance with clause 24- Shift Work of this Agreement.
The last paragraph is the catch in all this...YOU WILL NOT GET ANY RDO'S AND YOU WILL BE WORKING A LOT MORE SHIFTS FOR THE SAME PAY.
Ask any LAME in Perth what they went through last year with the proposed introduction of the 10.9 hr shift. A380 team, your additional payment is about to be wiped out.
