Has there been any word from the Commission today in regards to the cancellation of annual leave and the company opposing the PIA of overtime bans from tonight?
Also heards whipsers yesterday that the union made an excellant 11th hour approach about the EBA to the company which was warmly received.
Any comments ???

Rumour Mill In Overdrive
There has been much speculation and unsubstantiated commentary flowing from the grape vine since Friday. That's all well and good, but for mine I think I'll just prepare myself for a long one. Viva La Revolusione!!!!

Have heard that AW(from the 3rd floor),CR(from the Melbourne Lean Mean Black Belt society),one of the Sydney twins(from the Pineapple Club),and another non working LAME have been in BNE doing towing training and Local Area procedures as well.
Has any other ports had interstate visitors doing the same in the recent days?

Just got a union notice saying that no action will now take place until Febuary 1. Looks like they may have got some decent negotiation happening today. All leave for January is now back on too.

I'm sorry guys but I just hope QF management aren't toying with us and Steve and the boys haven't dropped the ball. If we roll over now we"re going to look like a bunch of "SOFT COX".
I'm glad I got my leave back but I would have been quite happy to forgo it if it meant showing our true metal.
87% voted for Industrial Action so if nothing substantial comes from this cooling down period i feel we should come out with all guns blazing. That is full overtime bans, no higher duties and no secondments as of the 1st of February.

Won't hold my breath
In light of the agreement reached in the AIRC today will QF be re-mailing all those previously contacted for cancellation of Jan leave to inform them of this decision???
Or even the respective managers personally making phone calls to the affected individuals????
I bet I know the answer!!!!!

Knowing what QF are like I would bet they are bluffing there way to the end of the Christmas holidays. Trying to save there skin for the time being. Don't forget the bigger picture of what you are all fighting for.
Having faced QF eba's myself it looks all too familiar.
My guess is after Feb 1 they will go back to there pig headed negotiations.

I think in light of the QF2 incident QF management have enough on their plates at the moment and must be happy for some more time.
That said nothing was ever going to happen before the 11th hour, let's hope something good comes of it and it's not just a chain yanking exercise.
Keep up the good work ALAEA!

This latest negotiation development is just buying time for QF. They are pretty much fighting off issues on all fronts a the moment and this is just a basic ploy.
What will still be happening is the training up of managers to do transits, the labour hire companies will be still active and as someone mentioned they can get past the xmas holidays without having the deal with some big network impacts should the PIA be enacted.
If you look at the last week QF have complained about all kinds of technicalities in this PIA....dates where wrong, throwing a bone in the A330 discussions to buy some "goodwill" for this move at the AIRC today.
I have faith in your ALAEA exec but there is a big risk in this move and right now I know theres a lot of QF managerial types rubbing there hands and feeling a little less sweat on their brows.
Fingers crossed for you guys.
