Chimbu,
The reactions from my mates out here in expatland is interesting
If you're in "expatland" why the hell do you care so much about this EBA and why are you so critical of AIPA and QF pilots for getting involved? I may have missed it earlier in this thread but would I be way off the mark if I suggested you might be interested in a DEC with JQ sometime in the future, which is dependent on this EBA being voted up?
You show just how out of touch you are when you suggest that a reaction of -
"**** ME! Say Yes to the pay rise and fix the other stuff later...in this industry you just never say NO to a pay rise".
- is justified. It isn't! An EBA is an EBA is an EBA, it's an agreement between a group of employees and their employer which is binding, in this case, for 5 years. You can't just easily fix stuff later! It has to be fixed now.
So Chimbu, I ask you what your vested interest is in all of this...let us know or disappear off back to "expatland" as you put it and keep your nose out of this.
