I would like the "holes" that were identified in EBA8 tided up. It is a step forward - a challenging step but a necessary one I believe. To go back to EBA7++ would just cement in the mind of management how much a bunch of dinosaurs we are. It would give them an excuse to go elsewhere for their pilots.
The "guarantee" of B787 flying that some wanted was fantasy land - at least the statement that if flown in QF livery it would be flown by LH pilots was as good as you would get and could expect. We are going to have to offset a lot more in any future negotiation to get at least this statement back. We have to remain competitive.
Fix EBA8, create incentive to promote and make us relevant to the future of this company.
Time will tell if the 24% that voted yes may have got it right or not. Reminds me of all of those Yes voters for the APA bid that, if it wasn't saved by an error, would now be looking at the ashes of this once proud company.
