Whats wrong with the seniority based system, 76% of those that voted on the EBA voted to keep it.
I voted 'no' partly because EBA8 didn't do enough to work some more equity into the bidding system. Voting 'no' to EBA8 does not imply agreement with EBA7++. Personally I don't reckon that we can justify a pay rise for the A380....particularly the S/Os. I reckon the amount paid to 744 drivers is 'enough' for an aircraft that size. I'd like to see any 'premium' destined for the A380 utilised to beef up A330/787/777/A350/767 (and replacement) pay rates. (I'll declare my self interest that as a 767 I do well out of that).
Fleet pay is a great idea. CAO48 exemption is a great idea when it has sound barriers around the sectors we utilise it on. A bonus bank is a great idea. What did EBA8 in wasn't the philosophy of it, it was the pure numbers.
