There are many non LAME Qantas employees viewing this thread who fully support your PIA and sincerely hope that you get your 5%. As a LH Cabin Crew I dont even mind our EBA was only 3% and that you may eventually get the 5% you genuinely deserve.
What I do object to is being referred to as a ' sandwich server ' while I quietly put up with angry pax and having my roster severely disrupted. When you started your OT bans I signed on for a duty and in the end the flight didnt depart because we missed curfew. No problem for me but it was for the commuting crew who had to find hotel accommodation at midnight at their own expense . Many people are greatly inconvenienced by this PIA but I havent met any other CC who dont support the engineers .A little respect please.
I wouldnt dream of calling a LAME a " mechanic " for example.
