yep, indeed there definitely is a zero too much there...
Obviously flying staff doesn't have a contract based on 38 or whatever hours in a working week, as you can not just stop a flight half way down its route, saying: "okay, that's the 38th hour finished for me this week, now let's get off the plane here", but the idea is that on a MONTHLY basis, 75 to 80 hours are planned, which combined with the preflight preparations, transit ground time in between the flights and post flight document filing combined, easily translate in 170 to 180 hours, which then can be compared roughly to a 42 to 45 hours working week, which in itself is already well above a full time employment....
And now the official proposal is to increase our productivity by more than 15% by all possible means: fly earlier, fly longer, fly later, have shorter turn arounds, take more positioning flights in your own free time etc etc! Oh, and obviously all of that for a ZERO percent wage increase, since the company says it doesn't have a money left, after spending a budget of well over 2 milion euro annually on aligning the working conditions of all those working for SN/VEX on the ground and at the offices....
I'd like to to hear how many more extra FREE hours a day all the office people at SN are doing for the new company? Or if their breaks have been cut, they need to work longer days and have lost some holidays on top too???
Just think about it for a second: SN changes strategy, decides to fly as a low cost as from 6 o' clock in the morning till midnight, have shorter turn around times, start onboard food and drink sales, etc.. etc... ALL of which have to be coped with on a daily basis primarilly by those FLYING, yet those are precisely the ONLY ones which are not proposed an improvement to their remuneration system? Seems something is not right here....
