Hugh Gorgen,
AIPA have proposed an information day on 5 Apr 2006. The company has also been invited to attend and/or present. I imagine this meeting will be well attended....
The company is having a number of problems, least of which revolves around rostering Singapore based crews in accordance with the original Letter of Agreement...
However, the latest and in some ways the most disturbing news I have heard is that Qantas are considering NOT paying Second Officers their Superannuation entitlement whilst in Singapore! Hopefully only a rumour... I trust many will want clarification of this particular issue on 5 Apr....
It is amusing to think that the company actually think they can sign people up on a contract of employment before the conditions of that contract have been developed, formalised and/or communicated!
If it ended up in the courts - I think lawyers would have a field day!
