They’re contractors. There’s no loyalty. They just pick up and go to the next operator. For them to land a widebody gig in Oz would be a dream come true, and they probably can’t believe that there are some mainline pilots advocating a No vote.
And expect them (and other Airbus and experienced pilots) to form the bulk of the new entity. Even if, and it’s a big if, mainline pilots are eventually allowed to fly at the new entity there’ll be no guarantees they’ll go in as DECs or DEFOs. Those who get there first will write the contract to suit them, any transfers will be a long way out of the comfort zone of what mainline pilots are used to.
Basically kiss goodbye to mainline careers for the majority if that happens.
Very easy to put a stop to, just vote Yes.
