Harsh and untrue. Bassa's reps get their fair share of good trips AND bad. Atleast, they're rostered them. In the past, the reps have had the ability to be de-rostered should they need to undertake union/office duties. As they would all enjoy the same level of fair share as everyone else of the good trips and the bad, it stands to reason that the majority of trips they'd be de-rostered from would be at the lower end of the scale.

So while it might appear as though the reps are doing more good trips than others, it's not at all true - they're simply doing less of the bad ones because those make up the bulk of the average crew member's roster and they are therefore most likely to be removed in place of union work.

HOLD ON A MINUTE!
you are saying the same thing but in a different way.
If BASSA reps dont go the bad trips (whatever they are) then they must be doing the good ones!
The fairest way forward is the monthly travel payment and there is no getting round that!
