An advertisment appeared on the AFAP web site recently looking for pilots to fly CL604 for Cobham on the new 12 year AMSAR contract. Pay & conditions were not settled when the advertisement was posted but have since been finalised in the Cobham SAR Services Aircrew Enterprise Agreement, 2015.
The Aircrew Enterprise Agreement is to cover the; Captain, Co-Pilot, Aircraft Mission Coordinator, Drop Master & Visual Observer.
The parties bound by the Agreement are the employer, the employees and the TWU, subject to an application. There is no mention of the Australian Federation of Air Pilots representing it's members in this tax payer funded contract.
