You will always be at the bottim of the seniority list and will get the most unpopular positions every trip. If the flight is delayed, you get nothing extra, whilst the rest of the crew will be on overtime.
There will be no seniority on New Fleet and they will not work on the same flights as existing crew.
There will also be no "unpopular" positions on New Fleet. Working positions will be automatically assigned so crew remain familiar with the working routies of all cabins. This is to stop the current situation of senior crew choosing "easy" working positions in WT most of the time and then finding themselves doing a flight in Club/First and being completely unfamiliar with the service routine.
Hourly rates should also mean they get paid during any delays.
If existing crew are so appalled at the starting salaries for new crew, perhaps they would like to fund pay increases by giving the company some productivity savings (which is all the company asked for in the first place)?
