I know im preaching to the converted, however ;
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world for the Qantas board, if they were able to set pilot pay rates arbitrarily ? Fortunately, that’s not the case. Fortunately, they’re only able to vote in their own compensation packages with a click of the champagne glass, and a round of viagra for everyone.
The EBA will be decided by a vote - Based in part upon their competitors pay rates across the Pacific (higher than Qantas), their U.S. domestic 737 code share partners (American. Higher), and the health of the Qanta Group; which is simply a gamechangha. It’s amazing right ?
The board doesn’t set the rates. The AIPA sets the rates, in agreement with Qantas - after a vote by the pilots.
