Mrpaxing, since we have a legally binding EBA which includes seniority bidding, the only way it can't happen is if a majority of crew don't want it to, as Michael Mijatov outlined in his latest newsletter.
Twiggsy,nice try but if you are young and naive enough to believe that any contract is iron clad or completely legally binding and that the company would not try anything that benefits them then you also believe in a big guy in a red suite coming next week.
Not only that but in a few months time a rabbit will deliver chocolate eggs as well.
How many times have we seen the company try something that pushes the definition of our EBA?
They did exactly that when they got rid of our 75% stand down system for this bid system that was supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread.
Twiggs, it's obvious that you work in the office but please try to come up with a statement that is at least half believable.
Here are some quotes from Pegasus and it shows exactly what Mrpaxing meant about selling tactics or softening up tactics when we are talking about a seniority system.
Sadly the Seniority system is to blame for the complete lack of solidarity.
That is why A380 is a more cohesive workplace as QAL and QCCA are all in teh same boat.
I have heard that a petition is being circulated in the QF MELB LH base to introduce Line Bidding.
Apparently the quality of rosters is so bad that many are requesting the FAAA to introduce Line Bidding rather than trip specific bidding in Melbourne
His best quote is the next one and his position is made quite clear.
Suffice to say it could be done in Melbourne without affecting seniority bidding in other bases.
