It would be foolish for Qantas pilots to vote this down. It will be flown under the TandCs that QF have proposed regardless of the vote. Surely you want to lock those conditions in to a EBA that is accessible for all Qantas pilots? Rather than the plan B which is having to work for a separate crewing company.
Qantas will get A350s on their AOC.
The aircraft are coming, the sims will be at mascot, DT (or his successor) will be CP and the training and A330/A350 fleet managers will all be working at Mascot.....just like the current 737 arrangement with jetconnect.
Jetconnect pilots are mainline pilots. The only difference is the pay difference every fortnight. This will be the same. And it's not rocket science to see that if it's voted down any future aircraft will never be on the EBA.
It would be crazy to not vote this up and get the aircraft locked in for the QF pilots.
