please enlighten us as to what the offer actually is. ie what % rise, what increased(if any) conditions. Length of EBA etc etc.

Last time rex went through "negotiations"(for lack of a better word) the phrase "Industry Standard" was thrown around. When some bright spark actually dared ask for a definition of "Industry Standard"... well, that produced a few drops of sweat from the "negotiator" (for lack of a better word) who was just hoping for a quick resolution.

HIS answer to "Industry Standard" was 'whatever Eastern Get'. ie 3%.

when further pressed to include ALL the items of "what eastern get" he shrugged it off... and rex pilots got screwed twice. Once by management (for lack of a better word), and again by the federation. They even admitted...."It is not a good deal, but it is the BEST deal you will get".

May be the best deal you would get without actually negotiating, Mr Federation. Please try harder this year.
