Pay rise ?
 

I think Q engineers get a 3% rise from Jan 1, is that correct?

Any news yet at FWA??

All of that for 3% and a couple of trinkets/token retirement transition opportunities?

Seriously?

Who twisted whose arm?

Wouldn't believe all the face saving press releases from the QF spin department if I were you Romulus.


Pay increases will actually average out to 4.5 to 5% for a lot of people. And, perhaps most importantly, the job security clause from EBA 8 has been carried over into EBA 9. Something Qantas certainly did not want to have happen but, under scrutiny from FWA, had to give ground on.


The ALAEA certainly didn't get a lot of things on their wish list. However, comes a time when you must decide to make a compromise and live to fight another day.


People dreading the introduction of maintenance on demand should note; nothing can really happen on that front until the TWU come to some agreement with Qantas. And that doesn't appear likely to occur any time soon.
