An 'in principle' Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) has been reached between Australia based carrier Qantas and the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association (ALAEA).

The airline said that the new four-year agreement covers nearly 1,600 Qantas Engineering employees and will be the subject of a formal vote.

The new agreement includes: an annual wage increase of 3%, backdated to January 2007; an increase in company superannuation contributions in accumulation funds to no less than 10%; and changes to the number and spread of part-time and casual employees and the lifting of restrictions on the use of fixed term contract employment.
