Thank you Eden99 for your post and indeed Merry Christmas to you and all of our colleagues out there.
This is taking the thread to a different direction. The FAAA have just released something in a TWTW memo today:
"With the approval of your Enterprise Agreement now completed, we will initiate discussions with the International Division with a view to reaching an agreement between the divisions on the Association’s proposal on transfer numbers between the divisions per financial year. Subsequently, discussions with the Company will be necessary to finalise this important and valued condition for all members."
Finally!!!!!!!! I wonder what made the FAAA have a change of heart? Before EBA 7 (2008), they were adamant that there was nothing they could do to secure swap course slots. Now they've changed their mind. Oh it must be Christmas!
I'm gonna be looking forward to getting my David Jones $30 gift card from the company on Xmas Day! lol.
