I stand to be corrected on this but as I read it the structure transition in conjunction with the annual increases + annual level advances (gained by work performance to a satisfactory level) equates to increases of 30%+ over 3.5 years (depending on your present level of course) which is an extremely good result.
Some individual cases that have been worked through, apparently show over a 50% increase over 3.5 years - this is a fantastic outcome for the lower seniority controllers.
It is apparent to see now why the detail was kept 'in house' until approved. The right wing idiots would have screamed aloud and created these as 'headline' figures - without knowing the details and the facts. (Think McGuaran, assisted by his mates trolling here who can't get over the fact they are no longer in government)
For those at the top of the seniority, it is a nothing as spectacular - but Civil Air is an association - not a bunch of individuals clambering for an AWA based on non-existent untested productivity claims. (The strength of these remaining AWA contracts will become apparent in time)
The Acid test now is on the Executive to stem the airspace closures, service reductions etc. and to help the airlines stop bleeding money through delays. Who will call them to account?
In the phoney war of spin throughout the CA process, the appeal has been to 'think about' & 'help out' our customers - the best help they could get right now would be a fully staffed, fully delivered service.
