Might be a silly question but ... why would anyone be so scared of a lockout, last time QF shut for 2 days and government forced it to re-open. Seemed like company lost a lot more money than the pilots 2 days of pay ?
Currently at Jetstar a LVL 2 FO works the equivalent of 3 months for FREE every year compared to if they were on a Tiger Air contract... surely no ones concerned about loosing a few days pay.
plus tiger have the ability to progress to their parent company Virgin through a joint seniority list.
Thanks for your thoughts.
