Consider contributing some $$ into the kitty and taking all the info to a lawyer to get some impartial legal advice. It's shocking the unions are endorsing it after the second round of negotiations.. they sound like they're over it too..
Virgin went to Fair Work seeking "Bargaining Assistance" after LESS than 2 rounds of negotiations with the Cabin Crew EA, and got their changes, so why would they come back with better terms to Pilots? What leverage are Pilots going to use to stand up for themselves... PIA in a pandemic after exiting Administration?
