Well, if nobody had signed for SLS, we would have worked less anyway... on some fleet anyway. 10% overcrew this year, a bit more last year probably.
The nice thing was being able to get our leave in one block. Bad thing of course was the paycut.
I always wanted the AoA to negociate a kind of "loan" to the company.
Meaning endorsing the SLS deal only if we get the assurance it would eventually be paid back.
Now if squak didn't sign for it, fair enough, he's got his reason.
I didn't want to sign for it (difficult financial year,...), but I honestly did by fear of being singled out as being one of the few not taking it.
I hope for him he got away with a lot more money due to overtime... or as much time off as we had.
But please, squak, don't complain if we get back what we didn't really enjoy giving up to the company.
Now, only after SLS has been paid back, it would be time to ask for a full 13th month, profit share, etc...
