Network EBA
Voting closes today, and the results are due for the EBA.
Anticipating the outcome to truly ascertain whether a rising tide lifts all boats, albeit at a reduced overtime rate.
Still curious as to the motives of one prolific poster , member for 14 years and 100 posts on one PIA thread ...

I'm wondering if everybody gets the gravity of the action the Network pilots are taking? They are doing what no pilot in this country has had the spine to do for 35 years. All of you have talked a big game but none of you have followed through. It's not lost on me, much admiration

Well done to all the boys and girls who made the right decision to no doubt eventually improve the futures of all your colleagues, and I'm sure inevitably the industry as a whole.
Not an easy decision I'm sure with the back pay and other threats being thrown around however whatever route this goes, be it IB or PIA, I'm sure the outcome can only improve.

I’ve been a pretty vocal critic of Network pilots accepting crap deals for years.
I am now prepared to swallow my pride and say that this time - they’ve absolutely proven me wrong. Congratulations to you all.
What a crystal clear message you’ve sent to Qantas IR. This level of unity within different pilot groups has rarely been realised in Australia until now.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, QF’s strategy of playing pilot groups off against each other (“if you don’t agree to this deal then we’ll give the new jets to someone else”) - is now officially dead in the water.
Network pilots have stood up and are demanding to be recognised as the group of professional and talented pilots they are.
NJS guys and girls - take note. Australian pilots are standing together.
I Need Of A Change … you’d better head back to the drawing board. No KPIs for you.

Interesting that this is the third NO vote.
Could it be that pilots are fed up with the BS from these corporate bullies?
P.S. The company is more afraid of IB than we are…
Stay the course guys, amazing work!
- First NO was in the 90’s I believe, threats started.
- Second NO vote 54%, threats continue.
- Third NO vote 57%, more threats????
