I Listened to a meeting once between AIPA and ALPA discussing a group strategy with regard to negotiating CEA's (EBA's) for Jetconnect and Jetstar and if there was any possibility of helping each other out to move towards a group seniority list. Barry Jackson was there and I was in on it as a conference call. It broke down very quickly when AIPA stated that they would only negotiate in Qantas pilots interest even if that meant the end of Jetconnect and Jetstar with the loss of those jobs, that was the end of the meeting. I can't see AIPA spending ANY time on trying to accomodate the Jetconnect guys onto the seniority list, I get the feeling they would rather just see Jetconnect wound up with Jetconnect pilots offered interviews just like any other applicant. Hopefully I am totally wrong.
