My final point is the Qantas guys are kicking and screaming. Quote.
No, completely wrong. AIPA had a well attended SGM, because they can see the potential (with 99 A320/321, whatever the mix) for Network to undermine Qlink, Jetstar and Mainline. AIPA also realised how Mainline "engagement" is again heading southward due to feeble excuse of Management blaming the pilots for no additional orders. As has been mentioned a hundred times before, AIPA can take no action outside the Bargaining Period, we just want a "please explain", not the Propaganda that works on the Campus to all the kids who have been in the industry 5 minutes.
