Right now, that all falls to environmental allowances. If we follow pilots and SAR Tech, that will go away and pay will fuse with allowance.
I don’t have a good defence for that. This subj has been debated internally at a few WGs I was on that were talking about Spec 2, Spec 1 and if there was a need to consider different pay for ground vice flying positions. The consensus seemed to end up at “good luck getting people into ground posns if they lose Spec and AIRCRA and believe they’d have any GAFF left”.
Don't get me wrong, I get why you guys keep it. And I don't bemoan people who have it. But to be mad that CAF didn't up a Spec level so you take out on those making less than you speaks volumes of a person's character.
We did get a EI, just not the same % as Std folks, OR Spec 2. I say throw rocks at those Spec 2 money hogs!
Personally? My best 5 just took a positive jump, my wife is happy.
I totally agree. Seriously.
I’d be supportive of standard, Spec 1 and 2 being revamped. Maybe Standard, Enhanced and Operational pay rates or soemthin.
Cpl, MMT, posted to 12 Wing clothing stores? Standard. Same mbr posted to HMCS? Operational.
AES Op MWO posted to 402 Sqn? Enhanced. Posted to CFLRS? Standard. Posted to 407 flying position? Operational.
Something like that might be a start.
If the MWO ASEOP and Cook are doing exactly the same job, CFLRS CSM, why aren't they paid the same ?
We already have SDA to compensate for environmental duties on ship. Vice shore base jobs.
Why throw rocks at anyone but yourselves ? You're either not as "Spec" are you think, or your trade failed to express the justification well enough to get upgraded.
