New contracts were introduced on a sign or resign basis in Gf in 1976...only one pilot resigned.
Sheik Essa was advised by a flight deck wife what was going on and Sheik Esaa reversed the decision and old contracts were retained and became known as G contracts...I had one and remained on it despite threats of no B767 conversion course if I did not sign it away at a cost of BD10000.00per year to me.
However Gf retaliated by giveing more salery and other perks to pilots now hired under the new contracts and denied these to the old G contract pilots....the law was you could not downgrade an existing contract or renew on lesser terms...but you could offer new contracts on lesser or better terms to new hires.
BA retirees arrived and were on GF 12 year Captains increments salery and enhanced allowances.
GF can be very spiteful within the law and you should be aware of this.

Do you remember this?
I subtracted this from the "Communication of salary package" letter issued last year.
At the bottom line among other issues there is this statement:
All components not mentioned remain at the current levels
So it is easy to understand that there is no reason to worry about since it was signed by the so A/CEO that eventually became CEO.
Add this to your contract's folder as I did altogether with all other letters issued by the company regarding to package.

This matter is closed now? You started this post that nearly caused an upheaval. I wish you would thoroughly research your facts before creating unnecesarry alarm.
These new joiners always had those conditions and were not changed from 42 to 50 days as a result of our activities.
Who was it that gave the unaccurate information to start of with? The same guys behind this whole movement whom we are all blindly following? If we are going to do this properly, the very least prerequisite is to have the right information.
Be very careful guys so as not to discredit what started as valid points and issues against the company.
