There is no EBA for the Pac Blue pilots who are employed under NZ terms and conditions under NZ industrial laws.
VA pilots currently negotiating an EBA that governs their T&Cs. The proposed EBA as submitted from AFAP and VIPA differs slightly from that proposed by the company and gives a right of transfer to VA CFOs to
VB/PB and also reiterates the right of progression for the SFOs to progress to B777 commands.
VB pilots EBA has about a year before it is renegotiated. This means that for the forseeable future, VA,
VB and PB will be on separate awards, depending on type flown. Pac Blue pilots will contine to be employed under NZ laws.
With the A330 pilots also on contracts this would mean 4 agreements covering the pilot body.
There are also B777 CFOs who were employed with less than 1000 hrs. No big deal given that most of the SFOs and TFOs have 10,000 hrs + and previous jet commands (B737, B767, A320 & B717s), including C&T roles in previous companies.
