The most recent AIPA supported QF shorthaul EBA achieved:
- The same term as the proposed Jetstar EBA
- The same % Pay rise as the proposed Jetstar EBA
- A similar bonus scheme as the proposed Jetstar EBA
- A loss for some just as the proposed Jetstar EBA
Just how? by encouraging Jetstar pilots to vote NO does AIPA think they can do any better given the QF shorthaul EBA? Will Jetstar pilots be expected to wait 2yrs to achieve an AIPA negotiated result?
AIPA is now saying Jetstar pilots should vote NO because of the 5yr term and "variable" (bonus) remuneration; amongst other reasons. Yet this is exactly what they negotiated for shorthaul.
I support the idea of a global seniority list and coverage under a single union, but to suggest that AIPA can go and negotiate a much better deal for Jetstar pilots than the current offer is simply fanciful.
