The time has come

Good to hear XRlent. The issue at hand might be particularly relevant given you have the best conditions of any airline in Australia.

In fact once Jetstar get this up and running it will set the precedent for other companies. Your company has connections within Asia so its not totally inconceivable for them to follow and expand under separate contracts.

I think its unlikely however given that your owners/management clearly see/promote the value of a happy well remunerated pilot workforce (so I understand).

What was the TWU's opinion/response? Did they attend? It was heartening to see that engineers and the ACTU put in an appearance.

There is a new era on the east coast with Qantas/VB/J* pilots not only respecting each other but supporting one another. A camaraderie I've never seen before. XR and Strategic are considered part of this as well. So rather than firing off shots at each other recognise that you are actually part of the same team.

Good luck with your EBA.
