Failure to negotiate

Meanwhile over in Short Haul our EA expired back on 31 August 2012.

Just another example of the worlds best Airline Managers approach to their staff and lack of urgency.

Yet another delay due to QF management with this from AIPA today...

_ SHEA Update - May 2014 __


As you would be aware, your SHEA team was due to meet with Company negotiators on 7 May 2014. We expected to be provided with details of the proposed company-wide wage freeze policy at this meeting.

At the request of Qantas, the scheduled meeting was delayed and we have finally pencilled in our next meeting to occur on 27 May 2014.

Given this latest delay, we anticipate a complete policy regarding remuneration to be forthcoming, as it will have been 3 full months since the February announcement and we haven’t seen any progress on this issue.

Your SHEA team is cognisant of the fact that the patience of Short Haul pilots is being tested by continual delays outside of their control. Be assured that we are doing everything possible to ensure a swift conclusion to an already well overdue EA.
This disrespect shown despite the QF SH Pilots achieving the following accolades from QF Domestic CEO back in Jan 14

QANTAS MOST ON-TIME MAJOR DOMESTIC AIRLINE FOR 2013

This is first time Qantas, or any other airline, has been the most on time airline for 12 out of 12 months and is the fifth year in a row Qantas has recorded the best results.

Qantas Domestic Chief Executive Officer Lyell Strambi said strong on-time performance results were a contributing factor to Qantas Domestic’s strong customer satisfaction levels.

“We know how important reliability and punctuality is to our customers so we are delighted to be consistently delivering on this year after year,” Mr Strambi said.

....

“All airlines operate in the same weather conditions and within the same airport environment, so the difference between our on-time performance and our competitors comes down to our dedicated people who work tirelessly to get our customers to their destinations on time.
