If the employment entity remains the same - the EA remains in force. I’m pretty sure what you have suggested is contrary to the Fair Work Act.
However, I am not sure if renegotiating an EA can form part of the DOCA? Can anyone shed any light?
I would be expecting my union to do all it can to keep as many pilots employed as possible - and if that means a reduction in Ts and Cs, then so be it.
