VA EBA ???

[waren9]

Thats all very well, Mr Hat and I agree with you, but when the managers only get paid with the current years bonus in mind, you can hardly expect anything else, can you?

[bangbounceboeing]

are any figures being mooted around by the AFAP or Viper yet, this seems to have dragging on for a long time. Hopefully something around the 210/140/90 split between capt,fo,cruiser is going to be the minimum they are looking at.

[F111]

Unions are after figures about $20 - 30 k more than those above so hopefully something in between will be the final.

The REX/A330 thread was locked by the mods before my question(s) could be answered, I'm assuming due lack of relevance?

Are there any indications yet of the type of contract (common Law/EBA) for the proposed A330 operation? And if so, does anyone know yet what the Terms and Conditions will be?

Genuine question!

[Hugh Jarse]

Err Krusty,
I think this thread is about the V Australia (B777) EBA.

The A330's will be flown by Virgin Blue crew, on conditions yet to be negotiated.

I did see the other thread, but can't work out where Rex pilots fit into the equation, considering there were over 130 EOI's from internal applicants (more than enough to crew the first 2 aircraft).

[Bigboeingboy]

When is the next 777 due for VA. Will they hire the DEC's that were told to expect recruitment mid this year?

[Visual Landing]

There will be no more DEC.

[KRUSTY 34]

Thanks Hugh', fair point.

Am I to assume then that the 777 is here to stay. 4 types! Getting a bit like that other airline quite a few once worked for.

[Bigboeingboy]

Thanks Visual Landing. Do you know that for sure? There are people around that think they have a LHS job coming up....are they dreaming?

[ad-astra]

Yes they are.

[inandout]

Unfortunately the $ fiqure more likely to be around 5, after this weeks talks hopefully some light on this will be forth coming.

[PammyAnderson]

I believe the company's offer was released today to the troops.....
Does anyone want to be brave enough to tell us what they have offered ????

[slice]

737 + 5%

[KRUSTY 34]

Wait a minute!

5% more than the 737 to fly the 777. Yet they offer 20% less than the 737 to fly the E-Jet!

Tell me I've misread this?

[mustman]

So how is it looking for the Cruise FOs?

Chance of progression? Getting paid a real FOs wage?

[flamingmoe]

That would all be well and good, if they were in fact F/O's, and not CRZ F/O's Mustman.

[orangepeel]

Dont forget - these CZFO's accepted the job in the first place - knowing the conditions....

Now they are complaining....

If they want a real job/wage - they can leave....

[Fuel-Off]

Orangepeel has a point...same goes for the JQ boys and girls bleeting about being undercut by the Singaporean operation when they did the same to us here at home!!

Sorry I have no idea what the VA 777 offer is - I was refering to the Domestic (VB) A330 salary.

[PammyAnderson]

So no one in VA brave enough to say what the company offer was hey???
