The usual garbage has already started, I was told by a very senior manager last week that JANZ will be getting ALL of the A321 XLR's but has not been confirmed as it is pilot EBA time and they don't want grounds for more pay requests due to midhaul operations and that if the pilots as for too much those aircraft and its flying will go to more 'cost effective' pilot groups within the group. So the usual crap, dangle the shiny new aircraft at the gullible pilots and see how many will settle to ensure a change to fly them.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Yet in many other countries pilots are proving the omnipotent IR framework is vulnerable to changing the narrative of 'negotiation'
