And in truth, I'd much rather they offer redundancy, but I'm almost positive they won't.
I’m curious Sandy. Generally (at various airlines) a displacement bid entitles the ‘displaced’ to a host of expensive options - The right to take any seat that they can hold in seniority, moving allowances et. The domino effect below them (the people that they displace) is the same. Generally causing an expensive waterfall effect. As you said.
Under the Qantas long haul EBA, are they able to displace of a fleet (A380) in order to adjust the manning on another fleet (744) ?
