QF negotiators now needed to move quickly to wrap things up, essentially accepting the AIPA EBA8 proposal, whilst having it costed.
QF agree to put EBA8 to crew. Costing comes at about $80 million more than current agreement.

I believe QF were very relieved the EBA went down.

Thanx Breakfastburrito that all starts to make sense now .
This must be the first time ever that an EBA was voted down first time around and then just whimsically discarded on the pretext that it was bad because 76% ,or what ever ,voted it down.
Excuse me but didn't the ShortHaul vote get an almost identical vote.
Why wasn't IT thrown out???
I expect most guys voted no in order for the negotiators to go back to the company to further negotiation a few sore points,what the troops obviously didn't count on was the executive election that saw Barry Holt win office in the interim and toss out the EBA once he was in power and able to do the bidding of his masters.
