Isn’t that exactly what has happened, in spite of the PIA?
As for it going on forever, well the union is also allowed to apply for IB, so again it’s hard to see what PIA has achieved (thus far).

AIPA had not undertaken a PIA ballot, so advising its members to take any form of industrial action would have been unprotected. The members would have been liable for

Despite Deputy President Beaumont’s previous employment, it seems she may well be very open to Network pilot’s arguments in a determination. She found against her previous employer and made these...

No sh1t.
But it’s the pilots that management give the aircraft to, who fly the planes. That’s the problem. When management can legally take your plane, paint it another colour, give it to other...

Because a company decides what offer they want to put to the employees and when, the union doesn’t get a say. It’s the law.

What garbage. Over the last 20 years AIPA has had to negotiate under far tougher circumstances that AFAP and they still represent the best EA’s in the country.

Interestingly, AIPA didn’t support a vote for the last LH EA (despite the gun to pilot’s heads), but AFAP did endorse the last Network offer with it’s B-scale.

Don’t need to plan too long term as FWC may accept the IB application in early March which will end all PIA. May as well make QF hurt while you can.

Haha, yeah sure. If you want the window seat, bid for the 737. It’s available from day 1 and the pay rise is closer to 100%.

Is that actually in an EA or just an old company email?
I note that it references an EBA, not a WD (Workplace Determination) as gets handed down by the FWC.

Can’t speak for the others but I see the S/O positions at Qantas state:

I’ve not flown with a new S/O with any less than the above for several years now, so probably unlikely.

That is not correct.
Reserved positions only exist if there is a surplus on the 737. The 321 will need crew before the first 737 retires so there will be no surplus initially. Also dozens of 737...
