Um - I did not realise I had to offer a starting point so I think your rather supercilious sounding comment was unnecessary. However, as you wish, I will offer a starting point - the terms and conditions we are currently working to!!

Where we move on to from there will, I am sure, be through dialogue first with members of the GHPA and then with the company. As I suggested before, I believe for many of us salary will not be as high on the list as ensuring benefits reflect our location and occupation; I am not providing an exhaustive list and I have not polled my colleagues but off the top of my head areas to be considered/improved might be:
Loss of licence benefits
Paid travel days
Bidding for bases/type ratings
Incentive pay
Blended pay
Pension contributions
...and of course our pay but I have to say I do not consider this to be accurate:

This puts a CHC Global employee at a minimum of USD66,736 disadvantage to an equivalent European employee and a dramatic salary restructuring would be needed to bring parity to the salary equation.

Do not forget a national working from home pays his own tax.
