One wonders if Joyce has thought carefully about the implications of a No vote - The subsequent years-long, world wide, very visible disruption of Qantas long haul.
The A350 won’t be arriving for at least three years. In those three years, Qantas LH pilots will in all likelihood be in protected industrial action. There will be no A350, no low pay pilots, but there will be Qantas pilots watching Allen set up an alter ego, fake Qantas. For no reason other than to outsource and undercut his own employees wages. All, whilst he’s being paid more than the worlds best airline leaders, and failing in every comparable airline metric.
Speaking of metrics - look at the pilot pay across the Pacific that Qantas is competing against; A Delta F.O. is making more than a QF Captain, and the highest single human cost at Qantas is the Joyce. While failing.
Has Joyce thought about the next three years of his legacy, if it’s spent in industrial meltdown ? Nope. He’s a tiny industrial bully. If QF Long Haul Is in PIA when he creates an alter ego, outsourced, fake company to fly the A350 - then pilots that choose to fly it are crossing a line.
