Fed Sec,
my compliments to you and the negotiating team on a job well done. I think the vast majority will do as well as could hoped for out of the deal (realistically at least).
If I have one small gripe, it would be the staff travel priority point (J14 for LAME's with 10 years service). Trivial perhaps but, a LAME is a LAME. Not sure why we had to discriminate between those who have 10 years service and those that don't. I think that the achievement of qualifying as a LAME deserves the same priority as one's colleages (years of service not withstanding).
Apart from that one small gripe. Well done. I just hope Qantas doesn't try to screw us over in the final document. Personally, I'll be looking forward to getting on with business.
Thanks again to you and all the negotiating team for your hard work. Bet you're looking forward to EBA 9
