Why would I or anyone else want to do AIPA’s job?
It’s
NOT AIPA’s job to run the RIN, it’s Qantas’s job.
As Keg illustrated, there are so many variable in how this could play out AIPA is in no position to second guess the companies moves and advise you what to do based on a guess.
AIPA put in place RIN rules in the EA and AIPA will ensure those rules are followed, THAT is their job, NOT running the company.
There is a whole flight ops team managing the RIN, cutely called Project Sunset. It has numerous people and it is taking months. If you bid for a training slot (or bought a house in SEQ) based on AIPA’s best guess at the outcome of this project that turned out to be incorrect you would be furious.
If if you want to know what Qantas are going to do, ask Qantas, don’t attack AIPA.
