Some points I noted...

*Pilots MUST be familiar with the “pilot policy” and comply with it at all times - yet it may be amended at the absolute discretion of the company at any time.

*Clause 7 and 16 of the policy are already blank. What will be inserted there?

*A duty already commenced can be extended by the company to the full extent allowable by Flight and Duty limitations and the pilot must accept this.

*Pilots with <2 years in the company (regardless of experience) are “Level 1” First Officers. The performance bonus doesn’t apply to level 1 FOs, RDO payments are less for level 1 FOs, hourly rates are less for level 1 FOs and Level 1 FOs only get 108 RDOs per annum – where Level 2 get 132.

*Annual leave must be taken at a time fixed by the company – provided 28 days notice is given.

*You can’t leave home base on an RDO without company consent.

*You must have a mobile telephone and ALWAYS be readily contactable. This naturally includes RDOs etc.

*Hourly rate of pay includes all duties (including deadhead, sim, etc). So as a part time employee you may only be paid for 50 flying hours per month, but spend another 20 hours paxing and doing sim for no extra pay.

*The hourly rate will be reviewed by the company each year.

*You can’t mow the neighbor’s lawn for a carton of beer without company consent.

*After your first year of service you must give 3 months notice to leave.

*If your employment is terminated for any reason (including “due to operational requirements”), you have to pay the full endorsement cost back before your last day.


I am not a lawyer, so everyone should get their own proper legal advice.
