So stop with the smart stuff - you never will know what happens before 9 and after 5 but expect it magically be a void.
You will have meet may Flyboy, many!
Was never trying to be smart, just making sure we were on the same page.
Regardless, I have no interest into what ends up in my employers pocket, not my business.
What I am interested in is what legally should be paid to employees, as it sounds like every employer has a different interpretation of the award.
I can't remember the amount of times i've asked a pilot about their company to be told "yeah, they're a great company, they pay the award"
Wow, that company sounds great, they pay the absolute minimum they are legally required to pay!
Or just as many times "yeah, good to work for, I get paid the award but no overnight allowances or anything like that".
Maybe the written award needs to be more specific? Maybe all companies should try for an EBA, so employees and employers can reach an agreement which suits their operation?
