What were you doing at 4am this morning QAN_Shareholder?

My crew and I were fixing jets in the freezing cold while my Mrs was at home in bed alone. The same place we were on xmas morning while my kids were opening their presents.

Do you think we don't deserve shift penalties for making these sacrifices?

Are you aware we lose said penalties if we fall ill or our roster is changed and that our super is not calculated including this money.

I've got 15yrs service as an engineer at QF and I won't crack $100k this year. That INCLUDES ALL PENALTIES AND ALLOWANCES and I never knock back overtime when it's on offer. If you think that's great money you're delusional.

FYI no one on my crew is Lvl 13. Even my leading hand is only an 11...

If you don't believe me, PM me and I'll gladly send you a copy of my last pay slip.
