Hmm, no need to shout. Do you really think shouting ever helps?
Your comment:
"THAT'S RIGHT, BUT AS A GROUP THE AOA AGREED TO THIS, AND IT IS NOT FAIR BUT THAT IS DEMOCRACY SOMETIMES"
is pertinent to this discussion. The AOA also agreed to the G day payment scheme although, as is the case with many points, we would have wished for more money for working a G.
Perhaps you should lead a concerted effort from within the AOA to have a specific vote on the union as a whole pledging not to work G days until the G day payment is increased or something like that but at the moment, it's part of our rostering agreement so anyone wishing to work G's may do so.
I neither support nor oppose G day working but what I do object to is people trying to attach a stigma to it in the same way as (mostly the same people) try to attach a stigma to early freighter commands. It's unnecessary, offensive and demeans our profession.
Most importantly I'd urge people who want to work G days to stand up for themselves and not be bullied by the shouters.
