I wouldn't call myself a regular sh
stirer. Just a part time apprentice.But i think we have a good chance to finally hold our head's above water and get the 5% x 3yrs we deserve.
The current worldwide LAME shortage.Large recruitment drive by ETIHAD and EMIRATES (cathay is looking at protecting themselves from this by doing pay comparisons). Cathay engineers are looking down the barrel of a 20% pay increase to retain them.
Large amount of contract positions unable to be filled in Australia and overseas.
JH unable to get the required skilled staff after extensive advertisments.
Q management will realise our value when our industrial action takes effect (and yes it will get voted in).
Q management should remember the hard times 2000/2001.When we took a pay freeze in good faith.
But that good faith was never rewarded.
Now the company is making record profits the reward isn't 27% DIX, or 47k a F/N cox.
All we want is a meagre 5%.
FOR F
SAKE THROW US A COUPLE OF BONES!!!!!!!!
