Guys don't forget that we are ALL on the same side. It makes no sense to be fighting each other when the real important stuff is how unfair is the unpaid leave situation when everybody has more than a month of PL in the bank, regardless of what aircraft you fly. I am T7. I am suffering like many of my colleagues and like the 330 guys did before us. Is the 380 next?, who knows? Enjoy it while you can.
The main point is do not let them divide us.
Just my opinion.
Safe flights!

Haha. If you never get paid leave that you're owed, why do you think they'd give you unpaid leave?
Obviously short on warm bodies, so it's business as usual, like it's been for years.
Is the ship still sinking? Or is it just smoking but floating?

Ok,
What aeropix is saying is that we get paid a basic salary for 90 hours of flying. If you have 7 days of leave, and you still fly 90 hours, your leave has simply replaced days that would have been off anyways, meaning it's effectively unpaid. Personally, I think theft would have been a better comparison......

Pay neutral paycut removed the 2.5hrs credit leave received at the end of 2003.
The promise then was that it would still be included in rostering rules to prevent roster compression. Kind of like the promise that 92hrs would not become a target when the threshold was increased. At least they are consistent.
