Another survey

Key changes to new draft Cabin Crew Agreement

ELEMENT: PROPOSAL : COMMENT: My comments in red
Roster Hours / 28 Days (Ordinary Hours)
140 -Average Rostered Hours will not exceed 135 over rolling 12 months still not good enough This is one of our biggest issues.
Max Hours / 28 Days after delays and disrupts 145 Where last remaining duty is APT or denominated AVL day, planned duty cannot be assigned to exceed 140 hours OK
Daily Hours 9.45 ( 12 disrupt / paxing ) Same as current EBA
good
RDOs 9 RDOs in 7 roster cycles & 10 RDOs in 6 roster cycles ( 123 per year ) An increase of 3 RDOs from the current EBA
**
Rest ( Home ) 15 Same as current EBA
Rest ( Away ) 10 Same as current EBA
Daily Overtime
>9.30 ( Time and Half ) & >9.45 ( Double Time ) Current Overtime Rates will increase by 3% Better but we're still losing 30 mins of o/t from 9-9.30hrs.
Roster Cycle Overtime >140 (Double time) Current Overtime Rates will increase by 3%
Base Salary 3 x 3% Increases Imbedded Increases (rather than cash payments)
Fixed Allowances ( DTA, Grooming, Misc Exp ) 3% Increase Year 1 then fixed !?
Overnight Allowance Agreed Increases
AVL Day Rate Increased AVL Day Rates
Drafting Rate Double Time Hourly Rate Paid for hours worked ( min 4 hours )
Leave Loading No Change to your current EBA
Buffers No Change to your current EBA
International Provisions - Hours No Change
International Provisions - Sign Off 30 mins
International Provisions - Passports Reimbursement on renewals


No back pay though, and the 140 hours/28 days still biggest issue I have. What of part time provisions?
And the survey- very complex!

*1. Based on the summary of key changes outlined:

o Yes, it's likely that I would accept the new agreement
o No, it's not likely that I would accept the new agreement

LETS ADD THESE ONEs IN:
o Yes, if company agreed to be reasonable with our max monthly hours say 135/28 and address other issues highlighted in blue above.

o Undecided untill I see all the information ie whole document

2. If you would like to make additional comments, please provide them here:
