- slight thread drift -
I believe that "technically" no one was actually ever locked out. (There was certainly no strike). Notification of a lockout was given on Sat 29 to occur at 8pm on Mon 31. FWC terminated all action on 31st before 8pm.
The "grounding" order was given Sat lunchtime, so no one flew but not locked out per se.
(There was one pilot who held a protected stop work meeting in Hong Kong, I think he was locked out of the crew hotel and had to pax himself home. Not 100% sure on that one)

They sure do - and then expect to be able to extend you out to "rostering" limits, ignoring (deliberately misinterpreting) the CAO.
CASA do not necessarily agree with this (mis) interpretation. But it's the QC that will get ya in the court of inquiry ....... Not CASA.
