A bit rich to claim it was the subsidiaries undercutting mainline on that one when it was mainline who reached agreement while NJS were still fighting thiers.
Without knowing the finer points of each eba, I don't know if everyone would consider all elements of the SH agreement to be 'improvements'.
I don’t work for NJS or QF, so I don’t know the finer points either.
NJS was a new EBA which was signed in. Not only was it a new agreement, it had significant degradation to T&Cs via fatigue/rostering.
Shorthaul was simply an addition of an aircraft type to an existing EBA which still had two years to run. You can’t negotiate a brand new EBA when you’re half way through the old one.
So no, completely different. But if it helps
NJS guys sleep at night, whatevs.
The A220 deal was a monumental FU. Hopefully everyone has learnt from it.
