The majority of crew have requested the FAAA negotiate a collective bargain agreement.
Current issues being raised:
The next agreement not to be for 4 years as this locks us in to a contract until past January 2010 (when the industrial laws change in the employees favour)
CPI increases
Confirmation of allowances and how they will be paid/exchange rate calculations
Commission on saleable items
Hotel standby - hours on standby to be counted toward rostered hours. Clarification if allowances will be reduced
Cap on hours (Qantas long haul 93.5 hours per 28 days)
24/7 contacbility needs clarifying in writing
Payments for working as cabin leader or flight manager
Day trips - i.e. LAX-JFK-LAX / SYD-MEL-SYD . DTA payments sought for day trips
Guaranteed 4/5 star accommodation
If you are V crew please post what you would like to be addressed in negotiations or contact the FAAA
