Minister has apparently signed off on the deal today.
The word is that there will be some very significant increases in remuneration in the areas that really needed them to retain people - think regional areas, GAAP and also the lower ends of the payscales.
I would say in normal circumstances it would be a good deal overall - in the current breathless commentary of gloom and doom, it is probably an excellent outcome. Have no doubt - there will be questions about it's 'perceived' generosity from political and ignorant quarters.
For those already on the top experience pay levels, it is nothing special.
Well done and well played Civil Air.
(One other thing - this agreement when ratified will not solve the staffing problems. Something else will have to now be blamed. Got it yet Sen. McGuaran?)
