Some selected areas of interest from the JQ (Valuair) A330 contract.

You may be required to carry out other duties in the air or on the ground related to the role of Pilot or that are within the skills and capabilities of a Pilot at any of the Company establishments or at any location nominated by the Company.
Pilot or general dogs body.

The Company's intention is to publish the roster 10 days prior to the commencement of each roster month.
We intend to do a lot of things but don't.

The Company will provide the maximum notice possible of any roster change.
How does 3 seconds sound.

You will be rostered for a minimum of eight Days Off in each 28 day period. If you take annual leave, your Days Off for that 28 day period will be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
Hello single days off.

You must sign-on at the Sign-on time as provided in the roster. However, you may be contacted before the Sign-on time in the event of a known delay and advised that your Sign-on time has been delayed, in which case the Block Hours, and flight and duty limitations for those Block Hours, will correspond to the delayed Sign-on time.
I can't see any way the company could abuse this clause, it's watertight.

You must be reasonably contactable via telephone for at least 24
hours prior to any rostered Sign-on time.
You must be at our beck and call.

Planned duties for any Duty Period may be varied or extended, at the discretion of the Company, before or after commencement of that Duty Period. If your duty is extended or varied under this clause, you must operate the duty unless there are special circumstances that prevent you from doing so.
Can you feel the love.

You will be paid an hourly rate of SGD$200 ("Hourly Rate").

Should your scheduled Block Hours for any calendar quarter be less than 150, the Company will make a payment to you at the end of the quarter equivalent to the shortfall in scheduled Block Hours multiplied by your Hourly Rate.
You wouldn't want to get sick / go on annual leave in any CALENDAR quarter, unless 150 x $200 SGD is enough for you.

Following the completion of each 12 months continuous service with the Company, the Company will provide you with an International Posting Payment of 10% x [TOTAL # of scheduled Block Hours, Annual Leave and Medical Leave paid in the 12 months] x [Hourly Rate].

Should you become a Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident, your
entitlement to the I nternational Posting Payment will cease and you and the Company will commence participation in the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Scheme as required by law. In this circumstance, payment for uncompleted years will be pro rated.
International posting allowance - the Australian tax office won't see a problem with this - so long as you pay tax in Australia. So much for being a non resident for taxation purposes.

For each completed year of service, you are entitled to 5 x one week blocks of annual leave. You are eligible to take accrued annual leave after completion of 6 months' continuous service.
Annual leave must be taken at times rostered by the Company. If you wish to take annual leave at a particular time, you should submit an application as early as possible for the Company to consider.
Taken at times rostered by the Company - we will consider your request. Can anyone say "computer says no".

If you have not taken your full 5 weeks annual leave by the end of a year, the untaken portion will be forfeited.
Sounds reasonable, not legal in Australia - but this isn't Kansas Dorothy.
