am told that the expats were not only not included in the orders from the Court, their Court Claim document was not even acknowledged even when it had been lodged in the court last year!!
also told that the National Union got given everything both Unions fought for, reinstatement of the 2012 Contract and damages for stress and suffering. Thats seem to mean that the National Union Pilots will be on up to 20% more than the current Expat A scalers and over 30% more than an expat on B scale.
Numbers wise, that will be 215 Aus Dollars plus bonuses for the Nation Union Pilots while the Expat will be on 166 Aus driving the same 737. Expat will have 2 weeks LESS leave, less a lot of other things and will need to commute on own time to and from in his own time, living in a compound next to the management office.
Feel so sorry for the guys, I can only guess how much they put into preparing for the Court case, the sense of being totally vindicated when they won the hearing they must have had, only to have the rug pulled out from under them in such a terrible way.
Not even there anymore and I feel devestated.
