Years of reading but only now contributing to the EAA discussion thread!
I would like to think that our priority at the moment is the EBA, not a night out on the grog with some snog. I have been witness to many an EAA christmas party snog and personally I could not give a damn.
I give a damn about my EBA.I have listened to you all make judgement on the FAAA and our union reps, their relationships and lack of consultation with crew throughout the negotiations, you have whinged about progression and all the lucky souls who are in the position to change their preference of base, which I'm pretty sure you would all do in their positions. You have not attended information sessions on the EBA yet whinge that you are not given enough information. We put letters in pigeon holes telling people to vote NO with incorrect information on it. We continually voice our opinions having done no research at all. My god what an intelligent bunch we are.
GET REAL! have you people read a paper or watched the news lately? Have you researched the new IR laws? Don't you have friends on AWA's at jetstar? Instead of thinking only about yourself have a think about the collective group and the security an EBA gives us for the future. Pull your heads out of your ar$es research and secure your job. If not pull the plug and move on, just remember plenty of people want your job, even with the current wage!
