It will be interesting to observe the developments next by Qantas Corporate and Qantas H.R. in consideration of recent timelines forwarded for Project Sunrise.
Will AIPA place Project Sunrise negotiations on hold pending discussions to ratify an acceptable Short Haul E.A in line with the philosophy above?
Given resources/resourcing and a pending AIPA election, I suspect that the industrial machinations and whole environment may be very interesting towards the end of the year.
The permutations being played out in Fort Fumble are similar to those being played by Cruz et al in Waterside.
It is the same playbook. BALPA is not playing their part, not responding to the punitive threats, largely leveled at their leadership (like staff travel bans) rather the membership has driven the union to action.
The problem for that playbook is that is relies on all stakeholders doing their part.
The Stream Lead has driven much of the narrative. Perhaps his value is diminished if the outcome is no longer assured?
That the union dynamics will change, introduces asymmetry and for once the grub Oldmeadow doesn't have it.
Having written that, perhaps the obvious play from IR is a rushed re-packaging in order to push a deal over the line at 50% plus one vote..
Interesting times
