You are right Satoshi, it does make for painful reading!
Interesting conclusion by the AFAP. They have a crack at AIPA for the standard and style of bargaining for the last couple of mainline EAs that are still the benchmark for pilot conditions in this country. They then go on to describe a series of EAs that are below the Award - that they were involved in bargaining for. They then describe the PIA tactic for Jetstar bargaining that was designed to 'speed up bargaining' that resulted in a three year delay in getting a deal. Meanwhile, the flawed strategy of AIPA saw mainline pilots get incremental pay rises through COVID and place them back at the bargaining table when the company is making record profits and (if you believe the posts here) a pilot shortage.
