For a year the company has dragged the chain on a new EBA, now all of a sudden they want an agreement in 2 weeks because of A380 and A330 decision deadlines.
So what are they offering? 3% p.a. which is below CPI; a 3 year agreement right at the start of a looming a/c engineer shortage; salary sacrificed super which will save Qantas money as soon as it is introduced but they decide to use it as a stick because it is worth more to engineering staff; and the only thing of any value - an adjustment to quota levels which will be a benefit to approx. 10% of staff during the life of this eba.
Doesn't provide enough benefits on my calculations, what will the alaea come up with?
