ok here goes
the term regional flying is confusing... Under the divisional flying agreement A330 and 767 International flying was shared between LH/SH
SH got 25%
LH got 30%
and Qantas had 45% to distribute as it wished.....Because SH so many more hours than LH and only get 12 hours rest everywhere and the MAM casuals and SH crew are paid a lot less than L:H crew, Qantas gave their 45% to SH.
This resulted in surpluses of crew in LH, which led to redundancies and forced LSL and the changing circumstances of the LH Division.
This EBA rectifies those issues and sends the 45% plus the 30% back to LH ..this effectively gives 75% of the A330 and 767 INternational flying to LONG HAul where it rightfully sits.
When the 787 comes, it will be flown internationally and domestically. Where it is flown internationally all (100%) of international flying will be done by Long Haul crew as part of this EBA arrangement.
the predominant international flying done by short haul after this eba is approved will be trans tasman flying and some out of perth and cairns which will be the 25% originally promised to short haul.
QCCA will employ crew on both A380 and in the current LH world. Those in the LH world will operate all current and new aircraft that current LH crew fly and sit under them in seniority but will have a different pay and work rules structure. They will be part of EBA and not on a contract.
QCCA crew will only have their rosters constructed after current LH crew have bid using seniority, and there will be no work either "pulled for them or reserved for them. for all intents and purposes they will be junior to the current crew.
Crew from the current LH can go to A380 on the conditions negotiated for A380 which in essence in the LOndon base work rules except that they will get a substantial salary top up to ensure no loss of income over in A380 division.
Crew that go over to start with (1st 2 years) 4 A/C, will be able to return to their original base or stay if they wish with ongoing salary top up arrangements.
ANy current LH crew that goes to A380 after start up will also get the salary top up arrangement indefinitely.
This is a great outcome given the current laws and circumstances facing crew.
