Even worse...it’s not just the pilots but also those representing the pilots that seem unsure of legislation and its ramifications. Hence the scare campaign isn’t countered by those negotiating on our behalf and the uncertainty grows.
Perhaps this is purposeful to meet other objectives, which is worse still. But they seem reluctant to take a stand on their position regarding the Fairwork Act and the Project Sunrise aircraft which could put this issue to bed. So it’s left to people on PPRUNE (who aren’t qualified) to at least partially educate those with no idea. AD has put in print to the pilots why Network could not expand at the expense of Mainline flying. His reason...the FAIRWORK ACT as described above. It is very difficult for QF management (not impossible but very expensive, brand damaging, and impractical) to not have Mainline pilots flying the Project Sunrise aircraft. As it’s been said...if it wasn’t so hard, the transfer of business would have already been done!
