If a pilot can be suspended without pay because their ASIC, passport, or medical is not renewed within a certain period before expiry, then shouldn't the same apply to the EBA ? Shouldn't the next EBA be also approved before the current EBA expires ?
If the EBA has expired, and there is obviously no "good faith" in negotiating the next one, isn't this a valid reason to apply for PIA NOW !
Or do we just let it drag on for another year or 2 so they can use back pay as an additional bargaining chip, whilst we miss out on a pay rise ?
There should only be 3 firm options NOW:
- present the new EBA NOW, which has been successfully negotiated with the reps
- otherwise in the meantime just pay the 3%, whilst negotiating the fine detail of the next EBA
- or apply for PIA NOW
