B scale
The reality is that the 787 falls between the A330 and the 767 in terms of a replacement. So it can't be compared to 744/A380 pay.
I look forward to seeing an apples with apples comparison with the new B scale and how it would compare with 767 pay on the LH award with the flying it will realistically be flying.
Strangely that's what Strambi wanted a few years back.
The fact that the company want to attempt to remove overtime tells you what kind of flying it will do.
Qantas will this year make a billion dollars and two billion the next year . I can't see the rush to sign a deal and thankfully the pilots are in a good position now.
The AIPA survey that was conducted during the 2.5 billion dollar loss, VR and RINs is now outdated.
Unless the deal is good enough given the current climate, it won't get voted up.
Pilots are also conscious that any new type conditions will rapidly replace the current award. Potentially the 787 could simply be a replacement aircraft only.
So unless you'd be content working under the new type agreement now until age 65 and possibly beyond you wouldn't vote for it.
Hoping the deal is a good one. At least the August profit announcement will be good in the absence of any firm orders.
