This EBA 7 Variation was a no-brainer. Of course it was going to be massively voted up. The real test will come next time around. If AIPA can get a fleet pay EBA based on A380 rates without contentious changes to the agreement such as those offered in the defunct EBA 8 (I am talking about training restrictions here) then I will be very impressed.
If not, then all we have done is cemented in another pay scale (A380) that further distorts the promotion and rostering situation within the LH division. If that is the case then I am headed (as soon as promotions start again) to the new M.R.V along with my cost-free upgrade training. Costly and inefficient for sure.
