It's an agreement
It's an agreement look up "agreement" in the dictionary, and I will dig up the EBA paragraph in relation to LHR base.
The FAAA Int. Agreeed in principle for the EBA sign off that the LHR base has there endorsment.
Tell me what the worlds mean then
"Qantas has reached an ‘Agreement in Principle’ with the FAAA Long Haul Division in relation to EBA VII and the London Base. One of the agreed terms of EBA VII includes providing access to one London flight per day to Australian based cabin crew"
Explain to me an agreement is not an endorsment in relation to the EBA
EBA word for word from FAAA website
Only condition is a massive 870 o/s crew
Sorry not unconditionally but one condition only
