Have to say..this was predicted to happen. The company threatened base closures, loss of commands and even god forbid..losing the Tasman flying to Jetconnect, the incumbent, if the JPC didn't get the EBA widebody addition up.
The J* guys bought the lot over threats and intimidation..under the allusion of vote the EBA now and then we can fight for better conditions..well, I would like to see this happen, because I reckon the next step for J* pilots will be a nice little AWA in a few years time.
Nice one guys..vote the EBA in then p1ss off to Cathay, Dragon, Emirates etc etc....bet you J* guys can hold your heads high..NOT!!
