If there’s no replacement aircraft then mass demotions and redundancies will occur.
If there are new aircraft coming then those current 747/380 FOs and SOs will be able to get pay rises with promotions that will occur when the new aircraft arrive. The only ones who will be disadvantaged will be 747/380 Captains, but so many are close to retirement. It’ll take a few years for the whole situation to sort itself out, but by that stage a good chunk of current 4 engined Captains will have retired
Is anybody really going to sink the opportunity to fly Sunrise because a small proportion of 380/747 Captains may potentially be RIN’d to a two engined aircraft and suffer a slight loss of pay for a few years at the end of their careers?
Couldn't agree with you more.
This entire post about a RIN is flawed. The whiners on qrewroom complaining about a RIN are also flawed and misguided.
They think a RIN will happen with a YES vote?
Wait till they vote NO, and a 350 is setup under a new entity. Qantas (and the mass NO voters) have said the 350 will replace the 380.
What do they think will happen when the 380 is retired and there is no 350 in mainline? RINd to the 787.
In both occasions a YES or NO vote has a good result of the 380 pilots being RIN'd. And yet they still try to use this is a valid argument for voting NO.
Unbelieveable !

We need more investigative posts like yours to uncover the strategy and likely effects of the management's "Cunning Plan".
Surely someone can find out the future fleet types purchase and sale plan? Everything hinges on that and is the reason for the structure of the offer.
FWIW I see a blatant money grab from the pilots which is lined with lots of broken glass and barbed wire. And all is being disguised as a "Project Somewhere over the Rainbow" plan.
This EA has far more reaching consequences then many realize.
Yeah, nah.
See above. Flawed logic and a nonsense argument to scare voters into voting NO.
