Qantas and its pilots’ union reach a provisional agreement in their pay negotiations, according to reports from both Investing.com and Free Malaysia Today. The proposed deal relates to the group of long-haul pilots, while short-haul pilots are covered separately. The agreement is understood to cover about 1,700 long-haul pilots flying Qantas aircraft including Airbus A380s and A330s and Boeing 787s. These long-haul crews primarily operate on international routes. The sources describe the outcome as provisional, indicating the terms are not yet final and may be subject to further internal or procedural steps before becoming fully effective. The two reports present consistent details about the scope of the agreement—who it covers, the aircraft involved, and the distinction between long-haul and short-haul pilots—without giving additional figures or specific pay-term details in the provided excerpts. Overall, the reports agree that negotiations have produced a temporary settlement for long-haul pilots, with separate arrangements remaining for short-haul staffing and pay.
