I’m sorry, I must be missing something.

Everyone seems to think that Bain can dictate the terms and and conditions of the pilots who work for them.

That is not true.

This is Australia. There are a lot of things in Australian employment law that favour the employer, but this is not one of them! Bain Capital cannot force you to vary your EBA. They will ask you, they will try to bluff you, but you do not need to agree to it.

They will try on a huge bluff: for example if you don’t agree to xxx then yyy pilots will be made redundant.

Do not accept that bluff.

I’ve seen it before,

regards, Fred.
