Well, democracy has had its say and only time will tell. I think with about 90% actually casting a vote that it is a very good vote rate.
The J* CEO has stated that the Company accepts the verdict and will commence discussions for a new agreement "in good faith" when the current agreement expires. The current agreement requires discussions to commence 3 months prior to expiry so I would guess about July would be the earliest to test the water.
I do think that we missed a big opportunity to get rid of AWAs or Individual Agreements without having to rely on the Labour Government (I can't help remembering who presided over the offerring of Individual Agreements to pilots in the first place) however here's waiting to see what they deliver.
I hope the AIPA and the AFAP can work together for the good of all pilots in Australia before too long.
