Qf LAME EBA Negotiations Begin
When do the line brothers get a day off state by state, I'd love to see the alternative workforce being shuttled around the country for 6 days.
I think the company are lucky we aren't the TWU. 1 week of action would cost the airline more then they would ever save by making us all irrelevant with the future workforce alternative they're going ahead with. If they weren't why would they object to putting into writing Qantas engineers for Qantas aircraft ?

Proxy Vote At AGM.
Hey Steve, Is there anyone in particular we should be requesting to handle our votes at the AGM? Wasn't sure if you wanted to leave it in the hands of the Chairman!

ATO
The government can help make Australian Airlines more affordable by rulling the ATO not to tax airline staff on shift penalties and allowances. Other tax breaks can also be given in other areas and in other forms like salary sacrafice. The Government needs to also realise that airlines are not playing on an even playing field like (Emirates, Qatar, etc) and that tax breaks for staff need to be given to leverage costs on airlines in Australia. With minor increases in staff wages and reducing taxes, staff will effectively keep up with inflation and reduce costs for the airline in the competitive market the airline is in.

Anyone reading a News Ltd newspaper today might have seen the article relating to both ALAEA and the FED SEC.
One would be under the assumption that the company have employed the National Political Editor, Simon Benson, to fight their battles in the press. He must be gearing up for a jump to the Red Rat, and is writing some articles attacking the Fed Sec and the pilots union.
Its classic Murdoch press, considering that journos like this come from the same stables as News of the World in the UK, and its not surprising that gutter press such as this is printed in the newspaper.
Well done Steve, it looks like their cages are beginning to rattle.

Heard the qantas spokesperson on 3aw this arvo he was saying ALAEA only out between 6 & 7 am on the 30th ? is this not a full shift stoppage ? or is Qantas this clueless as to not read ALAEA notices.

Hey Jethro, LAMEs have the ongoing one hour stoppages at various ports at the start of night shift on weekdays (ie different night, different port) so I think it's 6pm-7pm in Melb tomorrow.

When asked by abc reporter what the companies counter offer was after the TWU was demanding 15 percent over three years, Olivia says "that,s not how these things work"

You can nominate me for AGM if you like as I intend to be there. Not really going to make much difference though, my 1000 shares, your 3000 shares is nothing compared to 2 billion of them.
Would recommend everyone complain to ASIC about not sending out details of the motion we intend to raise.
