4.5% pay rise + a grade rise = over 10% divided by 2 = over 5%
and the 3% rise in 5 months time comes at the higher grade
If only QF employed smart enough managers to see this in the first place. Unfortunately, we have a bunch of academics (not very good ones at that) making hard-ball decisions that cost the company not only hundreds of millions of dollars in delays, but in its reputation. This is going to take many years to fix.
QANTAS is a very good company and the people in it are also good, but is run by ill-fated half wits!
At least there is now some closure and we can all get on with what we are employed to do. That is to get the aircraft backlog cleared and get on with our job.
Hopefully there won't be the old standover tactics from our so-called managers ensuring we're doing our job, although I don't think they'll show their faces around in too much of a hurry.
Good job FedSec. Well done to all for digging in and waiting out the management.
