Oh thats what I love about eastern crew one day at each other throats the next loving up to each other over a coffee and smoke.
The EBA meeting is this saturday the 15th and QFRegional since you are not working IPD's this month I hope to see you there if you have the day off, although I have no idea who you are - yet.
Seriously though it is important that as many crew as possible attend this meeting and get factual information direct from the horses mouth, furthermore we have to show support for both the FAAA and ourselves towards the company. We all know what the pay rise will be 3% of course but what will we have to give up for this and dont think for a minute the company will just give us this lavish pay rise, just look whats happening to our pilots.
Word is we cant mention the scary word "progression" in front the of the FAAA. However after hearing what one of our senior executives had to say on the issue (2nd hand of course from a crew member that attended the meeting) a lot of crew are angry and looking for a straight answers from the FAAA.
Considering the company introduced progression into our last EBA to get it voted up I think it only fair we discuss this issue.
What are other crews thoughts? Or should we just to stick to the facts 3% x 3, give up our 7 hour after an overnight rule and zero increase in salary for operating the 400 just like the 300.
