AH - Superannuation guarantee, workers comp premiums, annual/sick/URTI leave.

If two pilots, an EBA, and and a jetstar group pilot fly the same hours, they may well receive the very similar in-hand deposited in their bank accounts for 850 hours. However, what goes into the superannuation account will be different at the end. The EBA pilot will also have more leave days.
"Part time" is simply semantics to claw back from the every possible dollar legally entitled to a pilot from the Air Pilots Award 2010 & the superannuation legislation. j

The contactablity & inability to leave "home base" on days off without the express consent of crewing make this a draconian contract, enslavement in the truest sense of the word. Free time is literally at the companies pleasure.
