Difficult to know what you mean by the following GB
· This EBA looks like turning into a debacle to match the previous one.
Are your talking about LHEBA 8 or the LHEBA 7 Rollover?
Irrespective, the difference between them certainly resulted in the situation now unfolding. Walking away from the undertaking Qantas made in LHEBA 8 to pay all who fly Qantas branded B787’s in accordance with the LHEBA and then agreeing in the EBA 7 Rollover to recognise the role of Jetconnect, is a debacle.
Yep! Jetconnect New Zealand is but proof of a concept that will allow Qantas to crew B787’s with offshore pilots. I just about chocked on my wheaties when I heard Woody say to John Laws that Qantas pilots are very worried about Jetconnect. Isn’t he one of the team that threw the baby out with the bathwater?
