Express Freighter EBA
Widely reported, as the engineering industrial action looms:
“On Thursday, 100 pilots at cargo airline Express Freighters Australia accepted Qantas’s offer of a backdated two-year wage freeze followed by a 2 per cent annual increase after 69 per cent of its union members voted in favour of the agreement. This is the offer extended to the entire group including the licensed engineers.
Any truth here ?
Rgds to all.

Well when your weak a pi$$ union tell the pilots to vote yes what do you expect? Both afap and aipa indicated that they supported the proposed deal.
The deal was absolute garbage. Barely above the award and significant reductions in the conditions compared to the award.
The only reason that the deal was voted up was due to the back pay and the company indicating that the deal would be off if they said no. And as usual the pilots and the weak unions fell for it!

Unfortunately it now sets the tone for QF, JQ, Q/link, Network and soon to be Alliance. (In no particular order)
We certainly seem disconnected down here from the supply & demand metrics of world wide aviation.
Resignations and shortages will be the only thing that mandates change.
Best wishes to all for the weekend. 🍺

EA gets voted up, new jets announced. It’s the Qantas Group way now!
Is there a pay increase for the larger more efficient aircraft, or is Qantas the only winner (yet again)?

There is more than one way to get a pay rise into your contract. Those who actually know what the pilots voted on would be aware that the pay increase is more than what is being quoted. Of course Qantas aren’t going to mention that, it would spoil the Group-wide wage policy.

The “group wages policy” that is mentioned every time an EBA is voted up is to make it seem to investors that the company is reigning in staff wages and that makes investors happy, pushing the share price up. However whilst the standard hourly rate may be frozen there’s a dozen ways the actual money flowing into your bank account every fortnight can be altered. Changes to minimum guarantee, changes to overtime rates, shift penalties, different calculations for credit hours, new allowances etc. Obviously these aren’t really communicated beyond the pilots voting on that specific EBA.

Good to know. I'll be sure to check it out when it drops on the FWC.

There could be other non monetary incentives added to get the deal over the line, more days off, improvements to lifestyles and rosters, more leave, better hotels……

The base rates went up more than the 2% wage policy, but the only reason they went above this was to get the base salary above the award!!!!
One of the base rates went up nearly 9%. This shows just how far below the award EFA pilots were, yet over the last 3 years the company nor the union attempted to do anything about it.
