The award is VERY clear, and overnights must be paid - also the type of accommodation is specified.
P.S any pilots get paid above the EBA? or just the minimum it states?
Very true, there will always be whingers and I'm honestly not one of them, always been paid the minimum and kept my head down and worked hard.
I've worked under an EBA, also represented an employee group when an EBA was coming to an end and negotiations were in place for the new agreement.
My experience was that conditions/pay were traded so most were happy.
For instance an operator could add a claus regarding a bond, the employee group could then maybe come back with an above ward salary or possible overtime rate, perhaps then the pilot not be looking to leave first chance he or she gets?
I've never STARTED eba negotiations, I imagine it would possibly be a long expensive process?
