FFS, re the 'robbing other people' it had never been suggested that 767 F/O's got the 5% for the from the 380 S/Os. What was suggested was that the extra money went towards 330 (twin engine S/Os) and propped their rate to 744 rates. This would then provide 'S/O fleet pay'. As the current 380 S/Os on current EBA are being paid 744 rates, they will not be 'robbed' of any money, they will stay one their current rate (with the normal % increase everyone else is getting) 330 S/Os pay comes up and the with that elimination of the day 1 lottery. (Anyone who is on an aircraft long enough to get overtime deserves it, so don't change overtime rules). The only mention of the 767 was that doing this would also mean that the strange situation of an S/O having an hourly rate higher than an F/O would be diminished.

Considering the future of the company aircraft allocation (long haul S/O types) of 20 A380s and 80 odd 787/330/350s, wouldn't it make sense to have S/O fleet pay so that every S/O on the twin aircraft has the same hourly rate as on the four engine aircraft for doing exactly the same job? What we will now have is a few people on the 380 been paid exorbitant amounts of money compared to most people on the long haul twins who will earn significantly less for the same job.

As usual greed wins again and most will lose out in the long run as common sense takes another battering.
