EK - AAR meeting, sensible points to make.

[ekwhistleblower]

This would be my dream sheet but I haven't been invited. Constructive debate leading to a better company and a safer organisation.

Working Practices:
1. Credit returned to productivity scheme for leave and ground duties
2. Productivity level returned to 84 Hours / 31 days
3. Long term commitment to increase crewing levels to avoid unnecessary overtime
4. Sign-on time to match actual on duty time
5. Job Share/Part-time available after a certain number of years service

Safety:
6. FRMS to actually be implemented.
a. 6 years it still isn't a living system
b. Fatigue is a long-term issue but the EK SAFE model is short-term
c. Fatigue reduction measures must be implemented and not cancelled due commercial expediency
d. Flight Safety to be a truly separate entity from Fleet
e. Fatigue to be dealt with by Safety, and not coercive Fleet managers

7. Real no penalty safety reporting system to remove fear factor
8. Recognition that errors are made and honest errors should not be punished

Remuneration:
9. Increase to basic pay to reflect cost of living increases since 2008
10. Recognition that the increment is contractual and not a pay-rise
11. Productivity payment increased to reflect drafted for duty outside of contracted hours (2 1/2 x Pay minimum) and fiscally punitive to company as encouragement to resolve crewing levels

Management:
12. SVP+ to be able to communicate upwards directly to board level to raise serious concerns.
13. Managers/Commanders given authority to act rather than just accountability and responsibility for when it goes wrong
14. Cross department communication encouraged

In a nutshell, "put the sticks away and buy some carrots!"
