Counter Terrorism
Our new initiative of increased reserve over all areas need to have more notification initiatives.
We have introduced a private scheduling policy at the request of Mr. Scheduling and approved by the DOP/DFO/GMA to increase the amount of contractibility of each and every crew member.
In a four phased application beginning with Hong Kong based crew “The CPG” will initiate a program with the Hong Kong phone companies. Hong Kong based phone companies have the ability to track text messages. They are able to provide the sender with the date/time the message was sent and if it was received. When Crew Control receive the conformation from the phone companies that the message was received, that conformation will again be sent to the crew member as a confirmed notification of roster change. If the crew member does not complete the duty, that member will have a missed duty on their personal file.
Each text message sent, “The CPG” will pay the Hong Kong phone companies $3 HKD and the phone companies will welcome the extra revenue. We are in the process of bargaining with other phone companies around the world to have this initiative in all based areas with 18 months.
Mr. Scheduling again with the approval of the DOP/DFO/GMA believe this is money well spent because Mr. Scheduling said so. There is no need to put more money in our advanced rostering system when we can very easily provide punitive rosters to each and every crew member. We do not discriminate here at “The CPG”.
Punitive rostering will continue and Corporate Safety Department will have no input on any scheduling affairs. All ASR-F’s will be collected by CSD but nothing will be done. Scheduling will increase the amount of flying within the WOCL to each and every pilot until these industrial matter are solved. Again we do not discriminate here at “The CPG”.
The HKCAD will have no input in this matter as it is purely industrial and will not get involved. The CPG will deal with this in-house and all ASR-F’s along with MOR’s will be kept away from the HKCAD.
For Hong Kong based crews, the amount of reserve will increase both home and away with increased length of patterns with reserve down route.
Overseas based crews will also see more reserve at home base and in Hong Kong with an increase of EXB’s.
Freighter pilots will continue to have 10-12 day patterns with minimal time off and continued roster disruption.
This will not change in the foreseeable future and quite frankly nothing can be done about.
We feel that Mr. Scheduling has done a brilliant job producing the Punitive rosters in the past and these rosters are here to stay.
Contract Compliance is only making our crew controllers work harder to manage the flight schedule but we have given them 2 months special bonus salary for all their hard work along with a double digit special pay rise.
Very few flights are being cancelled and ones that are, are of a technical nature. Your Contract Compliance is futile.
