Any new news?
No, because there is nothing more to tell.
Some find it hard to believe that both sides are negotiating in good faith over this one and that there are no obstacles on the horizon.
I'm not sure why so many believe that QF drivers won't be crewing this and even more unsure as to why so many people seem to delight in this 'possibility'.
Broad pay and conditions have been laid down, the nitty gritty is still in negotiation but again, all sides expect to reach agreement. Briefings are occuring for crews on some days of the week etc, etc, etc.
Nominations are called for in the next month or so. So far, I've found no shortage of blokes willing to go and have a look.
