The results of the LHEA 11 vote are in, and 61% of pilots have voted to accept the proposed agreement.

Thank you to every member who took the time to consider the proposal, engage in the discussion and cast a vote.

AIPA recommended that members accept this proposal because we believe it delivers meaningful improvements to the remuneration of Long Haul pilots and represented a better outcome than the realistic alternatives available.

This result now provides a clear direction from members.

AIPA will now act on that decision.

What does this mean for Long Haul pilots?

The proposed agreement delivers the largest pay rises in the history of the Long Haul Enterprise Agreement, including:

• A minimum 11.3% compounded upfront increase on commencement
• More value in hourly rates, with fewer offsets than the previous proposal
• A significant additional uplift in pay for ‘New’ Second Officers
• Enhancements in roster stability and flexible work arrangements
• Improvements that will reduce the impact of blank lines and,
• Additional benefits in staff travel and commuting provisions.
