what do you actually want?
You haven’t said - “I want this!” Just tough rhetoric and rubbish! You actually are carrying on like an pompous w@nker in the eyes of the majority of Qantas pilots.
The way I see it, you get paid a certain award for flying a large aircraft to a few destinations. You voted up the long haul EBA because of the backpay you would get but not caring about the B787 conditions because you would never set foot on that little aircraft with sub par conditions (in your eyes)! But still ticked yes anyway because of the backpay.

So should the company pay you Jumbo salary and conditions on an aircraft that will no longer exist? That is the same size as an A330! Size matters when you justify why you get paid more than a B737 driver. So surely it would be close to appropriate that the B787 conditions are at or better than the A330.

We all want the best pay and conditions for everyone at Qantas (and everywhere else) but it seems you want your cake and to eat it too.

Easy to cry foul on an award that plenty of you MRV pilots signed for the backpay thinking you’d never sully your hooves on it!

ps love the Jumbo pilots meme with the screaming kid. Must have been someone very clever to think up that one ☝️ 😂
