Nice but some improvements still needed

A welcome adjustment by any standard, but some problems have not been addressed in the new package.
Accommodation, a very important important area especially for families (but maybe for a single guy ok), is not changed. Amiri flight gets 18,000, try to get reasonable private accom for a family with a few kids on the 12,000 /10,000 at the present.
Duty Travel is nothing short of a travesty of justice, whatever time is spent on DT is wholly time spent for QR, away from home, in uniform, (and can't even have a wine with the meal), the only pay will be the somewhat small o/n allowance if on a o/n. Another major problem is that there is no minimum guarantee per month. Many airlines will pay eg 70 hrs, regardless of the hrs flown, as it is up to the airline to roster a reasonable number of hours. Currently, in QR the pay every month is extremely variable depending on the hrs flown. Go away on leave, rostered a low hour month, or have the bad luck to be on the A300, and the pay for a month is sweet nothing. It doesn't help the loan application to tell the bank manager that all I can guarantee is the Basic!
If these areas were addressed QR might become a reasonable, and admired, airline to work for!!
