Our claim for Qantas Club membership is not for free membership.
It is a claim for Engineers to be able to purchase and use their membership like 20,000,000 other Australians can.
Not saying you guys shouldn't be paid up QC members, but was it wise to bring this up in the EBA? My understanding is that you can't use it while on staff travel/duty travel anyway, so why bother to to try and save a few dollars salary sacrificing the QC membership for maybe a handful of flights you pay full fare for?
This has only given fodder to AJ to use as spin, and didn't he use it today with the other AJ. I hate seeing you guys slaughtered in the media.
