Qantas short-haul mainline pilots vote down proposed EA

Australian and International Pilots Association < 1 mins read

A majority of Qantas short-haul mainline pilots have voted against accepting the proposed enterprise agreement deal.

The Australian and International Pilots Association said the vote reflected widespread frustration among the pilot body with Qantas management. AIPA urged Qantas management to move swiftly on resolving the impasse.

“We trust that Qantas management will engage constructively in negotiations to reach agreement with Qantas pilots,” said AIPA President Captain Tony Lucas.

“AIPA will be consulting its membership to understand where the shortfalls lie within the proposed deal and we will seek a revised deal that recognises pilots’ concerns.

“We sincerely hope that Qantas management understands the value of restoring the fractured relationship with its mainline short-haul pilots.

“If management shows a willingness to negotiate fairly I am confident we can arrive at a deal that will satisfy both parties.”
