QF long haul is a barely profitable business in long term decline. This EBA needed to address this structural problem. The proposed 787 agreement is just what is needed. Why on earth though have the inefficient, unproductive and outrageous working conditions on the B747 and A380 been allowed to continue unchecked. The angst and pain over the last few years have affected many in FLTOPS and the wider QF Group, yet these guys are left untouched. The only reform these guys have endured was in the form of SBLs and even this required the massive buy off in the form of Element 3 top up. The system in QF Long Haul is inefficient and unfair. Those that have profited from it should expect to lose out without compensation. The bigger the pig, the louder they squeal.
