Brainwashing going on....??

Hi Guys,

I am quite concerned that quite a few people are going to the Roadshows and coming out the other side having changed their NO vote to a YES......

Of COURSE the company is popping rose coloured glasses on everyone as they walk through the door - this EBA is most definitely to their advantage - yes, agreed that there are a FEW things in there that are positive for crew, but overall, the document is much more in favour of the company than the crew.

One doesn't have to venture too far into the EBA to see the first and one of the most concerning flaws......that at anytime, if a particular clause isn't in the best interest of the business, with ONE FAAA delegates approval, that clause can be changed. It then goes on to add that if the business feels that the FAAA is being unreasonable in saying no (to an alteration), they can change it anyway. (Please, if someone has the EBA handy and can quote the exact clause, I would be most grateful)

I mean, what is the point of even having an EBA when this is the case???

Thoughts........
