Just a friendly comment. Has anybody had a look outside the world of EAA lately to see how the rest of the regional airlines are travelling. Why receive more money than other regional crews? The big Q is not going to bow to staff salary increases just because "they made a profit" for the year. How many Q shares have you all been issued with lately??? Yes, everyone deserves the CPI increase. Staff having already accepted an increase some time ago for the Big Dash, wouldn't CPI be enough? I'm sure some interesting posts will follow!
