from a household that has a taken a hit from LWOP & part time
...........it's not only what is in the proposed EBA that you need to worry about - it is what is not .........
Today, my other half is sick in a slip port. She can barely get to the toilet in the crappy 3.5 star hotel to throw up.........
VB just tells her to get dressed, get a taxi to a doctor (any doctor) - pay for the taxi, doctor & prescriptions and then DISCUSS what may be claimed with her manager when she returns to base! BTW up until a few hours ago she was still waiting for her luggage which was sent to another port TWO DAYS AGO. (spare knickers in the day bag thank goodness)
VB crewing a few hours later calls (in the minimum rest period which should be no contact) and wakes her pressuring that she try to operate the back of clock flight home (even though she is sick) because they are short of crew.......
The current agreement is bad enough - as for the blow ins on the xchange program and those buggering off to V having a vote and pocketing what is a discounted amount of back pay - ....grrrrrrrr.....think karma............(don't get me started.)
The deal is a total dud - the arrogance of
VB in the dollars wasted on the farce is a disgrace - the threats of voting NO by the very amatuer RT & Co in the face to face sessions are wholly contemptuous to the IRC and are prima face bullying.
Vote NO - and get a proper negotiation going that works for the crew and the business - stop giving things up to pay for the Exec stuff ups (forex, late fuel hedge, tens of thousands of $ on Branson P*ss ups and those demeaning V ads that make cabin crew look like brainless sex workers in the sky.
You all need to send a very clear professional message to these very unprofessional arrogant people.
excuse the emotion, but if this cr*p was tried on with us we would not even be taking off the brakes for push back.
