Weren't the JQ negotiating group dithering to much allowed the company to drag it out & out & out in very strong economic times
mid 2018 & 2019. When did the last agreement expire ? Should have just been more pragmatic & got a deal done without asking for "iron-clad" guarantees
& thinking you would get everything you asked for ? Who botched it ? (in terms of the slowness of negotiations) was it AFAP ?, other unions/associations or JQ pilot committee
The QF guys got a great deal getting EBA10 approved (correct ?) this year , pay rises etc
It was almost unbelievable to see the company proceed & push to get this done back in March when Covid was exploding around the world
Why couldn't they see at that point that Sunrise was now Sundowner ?
The tide is way out , big Tsunami barreling in & the response is - let's give everyone a pay rise
Rookie error by QF management
