EA UPDATE
Your bargaining team will meet with the Company
on 7th February to kick off official meetings. Darren Fielder (AIPA Vice President, Group Airlines) and Andrew Ward will once again be leading the negotiations. Joining them will be AIPA Committee of Management members Brent Rooke and Phil Peatfield.
We would also like to welcome Andrew Robins, Dominic Corcoran and Simon Gould who all bring a diverse range of experience and have volunteered their time to assist the EA team during this important process. As always, the EA team will be supported by the vast experience of the AIPA Legal and Industrial team, the Qantas long and short haul bargaining teams (including previous negotiators) and external specialists.
The team is currently finalising our list of issues. We will not be presenting a “log of claims” to the Company as we are adopting an interest-based bargaining approach. Our approach will involve presenting and discussing with the Company the issues members have identified in the survey as issues they seek to resolve and improve upon. Bargaining will be about finding solutions with the Company regarding issues raised.
The EA team will send out updates following every bargaining meeting so please look out for one following the 7th of February.
If you wish to contact any of the bargaining team, please email us at
