Having the QCCA AND QAL crew in the one EBA makes sound industrial sense.
THE QANDOM EBA will be at a different time to the QAL SH EBA. Therefore you will not be able to work together and take protected industrial action if QANTAS decides to screw one group or the other.
With the LH EBA both group have a symbiotic relationship and can work together and STRIKE together to protect each other
Secondary Boycotss provisions would stop that with the QANDOM group and QAL SH
It was one of the selling points of the LH EBA that crew accepted as a sound judgement call by the negotiators.
QANTAS fought very hard for a separate EBA for QCCA for that very reason and the LH FAAA would not agree.
Just another perspective. Personally i dont agree with the whole outnumbering issue. When the Red Circled chiefs and Seniors were protected in terms of income the other crew did not try to trade off their protection to benefit anyone else in fact quite the opposite.
The more QCCA and QAL crew work and respect eachother despite the differences the better chance they have of COLLECTIVE bargaining
