would be phased in over time in a schedule that hasn't been agreed to... so it is difficult to see how QF can make any claim on how much it will cost.
Agree, reclassification really is not relevant for this time, a firm delivery date for the B787 (as of today) is still far from certain.
I think the 787 would come in at the A330/767 rate but haven't seen the details.
The way I see it everyone's seniority will be bogged down with "red taped big words". I believe AJ should agree to the 2.5% increase for pilots as a good will gesture considering the fleet planning delays which has nothing to do with the pilots, it is a management problem. They seem to be trying to confuse the two issues.
