“As our members are aware, the Committee of Management (CoM) met today to discuss the proposed in-principle agreement that our Project Winton negotiating team reached with their Qantas counterparts early last week. It included a presentation from our negotiating team on the deal and answered questions pertaining to the in-principle agreement.
CoM debated the issue throughout the afternoon. At 4.15pm, new information came to light which potentially had material impact on the motions that were being considered. Given the meeting had entered its seventh hour, it was determined to adjourn the debate and proposed motions until the scheduled May CoM meeting next Tuesday, May 10.
We will provide an update on the Project Winton discussions following the meeting next week.”
NJS pilots approached AIPA when NJS were purchased by QF asking to be able to join. AIPA dragged their feet somewhat citing the complexities of allowing another business unit to join (not the case with Network), and now it appears we know why. Never would I suggest that it is the case, but a cynic could be forgiven for thinking there was some link between QF industrial relations and current or former AIPA reps.
Any idea what new info came to light?
