There is nothing on the tech crew site regarding the allowance issue and this is from the faaa site today....
"On the 11th May the FAAA and AIPA attended an initial conference with Qantas at the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in an attempt to resolve our differences over the 2005 Allowance Review. These discussions are ongoing and we will keep you informed of developments as they occur."
It would appear a tad premature that a solution to this issue has been found .....pity about that.
