What are we fighting for exactly now? The union has agreed to 3%. We’re essentially arguing over the costing of a minimum daily credit. I’d sign the current EBA plus 3 per cent increases tomorrow just to have this disaster behind me.

Why oh why on Earth would you guys be discussing this on a public forum? I mean all of it, the pros and cons. Having a crack at the Company is one thing but the other stuff being discussed seems illogical and inadvisable.

I think we can safely assume that not everyone on here is who they are claiming to be. The rhetoric very coherent and robust amongst the individuals that count. Good luck to the men and women of JQ.

But, im just a line pilot looking at this whole situation getting out of control. If I thought PIA would get us a decent pay rise and increase in lifestyle, I’d be all for it. But the way things have played out I just can’t see that happening. I hope I’m wrong!

The management trolls are back!

CamelSquadron 18th Dec 2019 03:34

Management trolls, Qantas Angels, AIPA Angels.....listen to yourselves. Your like children thinking there is a bogey man in the dark. LOL.

Dont think that taking PIA is free. There is a price to be paid by both the company and the employees.

Take the emotion out of this. Sideline the fools who just want to fight. Your professionals so behave like professionals. Think logically and find the middle ground.

Buttscratcher 18th Dec 2019 03:40

Would someone please clarify this for me?
It seems that you fellas in JQ have AIPA members, and AFAP members.
Further, the AIPA blokes are not supporting PIA.
The AFAP fellows are, obviously, going it alone.
If this brings management back to the table for continued and sensible discussion, then the AIPA cats benefit also, but with no actual input, action or risk.
What have I missed here?

Needlessly insulting us isn't helping you assume the moral high ground you so clearly believe you hold.

Nobody here has made any such claim.

This is frustrating. Its been explained to you by myself and others, at length and in detail why this currently isn't possible. You've chosen to entirely ignore and evade these responses in order to assert once again what is an obvious fallacy. Your statement reads as nothing more than a self serving plea by a QF manager for total acquiescence.

I wonder if you appreciate the irony of your position. You criticize us for failing to find the middle ground with the company (whilst of course never criticizing the company for the same), whilst dismissing or ignoring any reasoned argument that counters your position, digging your heals in precisely as you accuse the pilot body of doing. Looking at your post history, it clear this isn't new behavior.

There it is! The call of the Qantas troll! “Be professional”! Meaning don’t fight for your future because it’s unprofessional. Says who? Ever met a poor surgeon or Judge? You are engaged in a contest, not a beauty pageant!

Comments like this display who the real fools are. It has been explained many times that there is no middle ground with AJ. Its his way or the highway, 3% or nothing. Kudos to the AFAP and the majority of Jetstar pilots for taking a stand. Its the only way that change is going to be brought about unfortunately. Think Hong Kong

If You’re such a professional CamelToe, why not spell like You’re a professional.

You are jumping at shadows in the dark. "Behave like a professional" means your smart and intelligent so think logically and find that middle ground. Dont behave like a laborer on a construction site and get all emotional about it.

No one said it was going to be easy to find the middle ground. But you need to find it otherwise you wont get a deal done and everyone is going to be a loser.

Sorry for butchering the english language.

Good to see that you can focus on the immaterial details rather than the important stuff.

ECAMACTIONSCOMPLETE 18th Dec 2019 05:30

So if you don’t echo the opinion of others you’re labelled a management troll?

The only way I could refute that would be to break the anonymity of this forum, which of course I will not.

People have different opinions on this situation. You don’t have to agree with them, but you definitely don’t need to vilify them.

Did you vote for PIA then?

Paddleboat 18th Dec 2019 05:42

Put him on ignore, its now patently clear he's not here to discuss or debate, but to evade and incite. The very definition of a troll. Read his post history, he/she is clearly QF management.

Count the number of times he's avoided my specific addressing and rebuttal of his posts ECAM. This has nothing to do with labeling dissenting opinions adversely, and everything to do with his intent, which is now clear.

dragon man 18th Dec 2019 05:44

One thing that I think gets forgotten by many is the 10% equivalent wage freeze suffered by all in the Qantas group. When record amounts of money are going to management and Jetstar pilots I think it is fair to say are paid under what they should be.

You have no idea who I am, who I work for, what I do or even what sex I maybe. You have absolutely no idea.

You are doing exactly what you are claiming you are not doing. You are talking with a forked tongue. You are labeling a dissenting opinion because you dont like it.

Based on this behaviour, can anyone believe a single word you write in this forum? You say one thing but do the opposite.

Anyway lets stop playing the person here and try to stick to the underlying topic. I wont say anymore on this.

This entire paragraph is a non sequitur. I haven't written anything that requires 'believing'. I have repeatedly challenged your false assertions, and you have repeatedly ignored them at your convenience.

So, now that you've shown you're able to see my posts, I have written 2 in direct response to you, challenging the assertions you have made in this thread. I have repeatedly given you opportunity to respond to the points I've made, only to be met with silence. Stop ignoring arguments you don't like and address what has been said.

You can start here.

We know you are a management troll - you appeared in Pprune on 6 January 2014, spreading fear uncertainty and doubt among Qantas ALEA members. https://www.pprune.org/search.php?se...7&pp=25&page=3

you then reappeared from time to time defending Qantas management until these negotiations started when you suddenly reappeared spreading the same fear uncertainty and doubt amongst the Jetstar pilot group.

You are not presenting a "dissenting opinion, you are deliberately spreading poison. Thats why I asked in post #209: "have you been asked to "be professional" yet? And then at post #416, bingo! Camelsquadron makes that call!

But wait.....there's more..... in post #423 Camelsquadron opines :

You are jumping at shadows in the dark. "Behave like a professional" means your smart and intelligent so think logically and find that middle ground. Dont behave like a laborer on a construction site and get all emotional about it.
A very neat shot through the foot! Would it surprise anyone to learn that thanks to the CFMEU, an unskilled trades assistant on the Melbourne rail project - a laborer on a construction site, is making $200,000? Unskilled, no qualifications, no responsibility! Thats what getting emotional about it wins you! "Being professional" as the Camel wants will see your children dressed in rags.

Begone troll!

Things in 2019 are a lot different to 2011. The majority of the public are fed up with the level of corporate greed that currently exists amoungst big corporations. You only have to read the disgust on social media at AJ's $24 million pay packet. It would also be hard to sell an ongoing capped 3% Qantas wage policy to FWA sighting unsustainability in the face of a $1.6 billion profit last year. The RBA sees big corporations and current excessive executive bonus' as one of the reasons the wage gap is increasing in this country. Our RBA governor himself has made mention that current CEO salaries 'disturbs him'. As I said, different times to 2011. Dont know if Qantas would walk away a winner if FWA were to step in today.

blow.n.gasket 19th Dec 2019 00:51

Qantas Management didn’t exactly walk away winners after the FWA arbitration post lock out of the Mainline workers last time !
What + $200 million in cost to end up with essentially the same Contracts post FWA arbitrated fiddle , Alan’s an $85 million winner baby and don’t you let anyone tell you otherwise !

$22 /hour
 
These guys will be working in 44deg heat for around $22 per hour (melbourne forecast) today whilst other people are being paid $3m a year to tell lies in the media & belittle them as if they are 2nd class citizens.
They are asking for a few bucks a week & some recognition for what they do.
Making the business profitable is important but it doesnt have to be done with no respect for the people earning the least salary & providing a crucial service.
I wonder how much money has been spent on exec Xmas parties this week.
Shame on all of them,they make me sick.

If he locks out pilots it ends up in FWA I believe, do I think Jetstar pilots will do better there, yes. Just a personal feeling that all.

Paddleboat 20th Dec 2019 07:02

Considering what we do compared to our competitors, and the respective pay, I think arbitration is the best we can hope for.

That’s a great article, I hope the baggage handlers get what they are asking for which seems to be very sensible.

Why do you think it necessarily ends up in the FWC for arbitration?

And what makes you think there will be a positive outcome for pilots if it does?

Maybe the law. If mediation and conciliation don’t achieve an agreed outcome, then it proceeds to arbitration, according to the FWC.


And what makes you think there will be a positive outcome for pilots if it does?
Great question. Hopefully we’ll never know.

ECAMACTIONSCOMPLETE 23rd Dec 2019 06:48

Back of the clocks becoming overnights is a step in the right direction. I’m surprised the company didn’t try and integrate it into the negotiation so they could ‘sell’ it to us. It’s been a long time coming but is a major issue that has finally been addressed.
