Well said Dutch Roll. That just about sums it all up. There are many dissatisfied line guys here. The last "negotiations" were a mere formality. The move for union representation is strong now as under the present situation we virtually have no representation. The need for transparency in negotiations has never been so immediate.
Id suggest that the engagement of a union is being actively discouraged by the JPC because of the effect that a real representitve group will have on Jetstar conditions. As it stands at the moment Id say that AIPA and the JPC are rowing up a long river in the same boat.These are just my opinions though.
There is a push going on right now for a union to take over proceedings. BOTH GROUPS AND THE REGIONALS HAVE BEEN SOLD SHORT BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE!!!!.
