15.9 The Company and/or a pilot may nominate a representative for the purposes of this

clause. 15.10 Any dispute or difficulty over the implementation of a flexibility agreement will be

handled in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedure in clause 6.

significant change to work value or responsibilities will occur, the Company or the Pilot Committee may request discussions on the establishment of appropriate terms and conditions of employment in relation to the operation of such aircraft or equipment.

16.2 In the event of a delay in agreeing on the terms and conditions of employment, any

agreed changes shall be backdated to the date of introduction of the new or special equipment.

A pilot who resigns for the purpose of employment as a pilot with another employer whilst transferred to a base other than the pilot’s home base will not be entitled to the benefits of this clause.

34.6 A pilot whose service is terminated due to redundancy or who terminates service

whilst under notice of termination due to redundancy shall maintain his/her relative seniority position with the Company for 3 years or until offered re-employment, which is subsequently rejected by the pilot, whichever shall occur first. This sub-clause will not apply to a pilot who has taken voluntary redundancy.

34.7 On termination of employment a pilot shall be paid fully in lieu of annual leave and

shall be paid, on a pro rata basis the entitlement described in sub-clause 55.3. 34.8 The provisions of this clause do not affect the right of the Company to dismiss a

pilot without notice for malingering, inefficiency, neglect of duty or misconduct. In such cases, the salary will only be paid up to the time of dismissal.

35. REDUNDANCY

35.1 Definition 35.1.1 Redundancy occurs when the Company decides that it no longer wishes the job a

pilot has been doing to be done by anyone and this is not due to the ordinary and customary turnover of labour. Redundancy of pilots shall be taken from the permanent pilot group and will be affected in the order determined by their seniority on a last on/first off basis. Non-permanent pilots will be terminated prior to permanent pilots being made redundant.

35.1.2 Redundancy is provided for in the NES.

of 80

35.2 Transfer to lower paid duties 35.2.1 Where a reduction of establishment occurs, the Company may transfer Captains to

lower paid duties to maintain the Captain / Senior First Officer / First Officer ratio. The ratio will be determined having regard to the Company’s operational requirements at the time. The current ratio sought is in the order of 60/40.

35.2.2 Where a pilot is transferred to lower paid duties by reason of redundancy, the

same period of notice must be given as the pilot would have been entitled to if the employment had been terminated and the Company may at it’s option, make payment in lieu thereof of an amount equal to the difference between the former ordinary rate of pay and the new ordinary time rate for the number of weeks of notice still owing.

35.3 Severance pay 35.3.1 The Severance Payment entitlements in this clause prevail over the BHA

Redundancy Policy where there are any inconsistencies. 35.3.2 In the event that the pilot is made redundant, the pilot shall be entitled to the

following amount of severance pay in respect of a continuous period of service: Up to 5 years of service 4 weeks’ pay per year of completed
