With to regard to the issue about promotions in overseas bases...... there is no actual EBA restriction that would prevent that from occurring. However, in Dec 2004 an exchange of letters occurred between the FAAA and Qantas that says apart from the London base there would be no promotions in overseas bases.
So there is an expectation that no promotions will occur on NZ for example until at least the expiration of the current LH EBA7.
Restrictions on labour hire arrangements of course are illegal ( most probably) under the new Howard legislation., so like the cap on o/s bases , any restrictions on promotions in relation to overseas bases will also probably be prohibited once the current EBA expires.
Thanks Mr Howard!
I'm reliably informed the FAAA will issue something shortly about the activities secretly being undertaken by the Company in NZ.
Also people need to be aware that the FAAA keeps things of a confidential nature secure...... for a whole host of valid reasons, so that crew interests are not damaged. However, expect something soon regarding NZ from the FAAA.
