Speedbirdhouse,I can see your point but remember when we gave away a crew member because of a temporary problem.
Did we get that crew member back?
We give away something and we have buckley's chance of getting it back.Unless there is a concrete concession from the company on another matter or agreement that this is only a temporary ruling.To be honest even then I don't trust the company not to exploit this concession.
GD and the company could not lie straight in bed if they wanted to.
Surfside
Get real..the company is not about to allocate seats for crew rest and lose revenue.
Negotiate and prioritize.
Or do you mean concede instead of negotiate?
How many times have we given in to the company with the line from MM "If we don't we lose our jobs"
What have we got in return?
They give our flying to S/H,enlarge the bases in LHR,BKK & AKL with no care of the EBA limit and total impunity.
They tell us we will not fly the A380
They continually try to erode our conditions and Dixon tells the press we are the most militant union in QF.
Let's hope that when we finally get our new EBA we will not have given away everything we have now.
