Qantas Recruitment
Think the EBA says “aircraft ordered” and “commenced recruitment of SOs into the A330/350 SFF category”. So if new SOs are being recruited as 330/350 SFF category they will be under new rate. Wouldn’t surprise me for Qantas to do that and say you fly both, but will only fly 330 for now.

will that apply to recruits onto all LH fleets now or just the 330? Is there any info onto how much it actually affects take home pay?

Hopefully AIPA think this is something to stand up and fight for, rather than thinking it’s a 50/50 if we win, and just rolling over as per usual!

Once it begins, it's applicable to all fleets. I think the 787 rate is different, but with the way the rules work, it equates to the same pay. So I guess that means S/O's are now on fleet pay.
A bit of a stretch to suggest they are recruiting for SFF, but I'd suggest it's probably legal.

Can confirm SO’s starting in October have received an email from HR stating they are being employed in to the 330/350 Category.
I suspect this is a direct result of AIPA recently shutting down Qantas’ request to employ direct entry 380 SO’s without paying bypass pay to those with current bids in for the 380
Hopefully AIPA has something to say about this considering the fleet isn’t due to arrive for years yet.

Funny thing is most of the people joining at the moment probably have enough hours on the triangle in some sort of jet they probably have no interest in rushing onto the 737.

Is it likely progression would speed up in future with the aircraft orders, or is there still going to be 5,6,7+ year SO’s now sitting on a B scale? From what I’ve read the payscale starts to properly impact you after a couple of years.

Delving a bit more into the EBA for new hire SOs for the 787 it’s $122k-$131k on base MGH without additional pay or allowances. 330/350 SFF $107k-$124k MGH at the end of 6 years, so a bit lower but not substantially as much. Again this can all be avoided by bidding to SH ASAP, with 35% higher pay at MGH on first year rates, but at the usual hours rostered in SH it’ll be much much more, the before tax pay for most F/O’s for this FY should have a 2 at the start of it, even on first year rates and without the bonus or allowances.
