wirgin, they CAN NOT keep you on the current EBA forever - that is nonsense! Don't be so hysterical.
Don't be afraid of letting it go to Fair Work Australia - by their own system, you CAN NOT be more 'worse off' with a new agreement.
So, even FWA wouldn't expose you to a pay cut like this EBA offers.
There has been some pathetic scare mongering going about - don't believe it. If they take 4 years to come up with yet another substandard EBA, how on earth do you think they could organise another work group.
Just look at the job they did of setting up the Sydney base - a disaster! And what about a base in that little hotspot Perth - too hard basket.
Infact, this is a management so incompetent, they can't work out how they could have dual OOL/BNE basings even with such a huge number of crew living on the coast.
Just think of the cash they could actually save (at the same time improving morale) by getting a few of these things right, and sacking a few managers while they're at it.
