Not that I think this contract is anywhere near of what it should be. But in all fairness... With this contract you offer the company about 15% less working days.
28/13 can be done 8.9 times/year. Within those 28 days you must have a minimum of 6 days off (1 after 7 and 2 in 14). So that is 53 days. Add the 8.9 times 13 (116) and the 12 days of leave you end up with a total of 181 days off work as the minimum. Giving the company a maximum of 184 days of work.
Considering a normal contract with 9 off days/month is 108 plus 42 days of leave equals 150 days/year. Leaving 215 days of work.
184 is roughly 15 less than 215.
If you the consider the fixed costs for the company (sim, gnd school, uniforms, accom, schooling...) which are the same for both groups, the cargo pilots end up more expensive than the rest of us.
Just a simple minds calculation, not claiming to cover all the details...
Geez, I must be really bored...
