So Qantas were fully aware of the worst possible scenario BEFORE the EA vote opened, before the result was declared and before it was submitted to the FWC. They had ample opportunity to pull it but they decided not to.
I still don't agree with you. You are talking LH only - this is not a LH only issue. At no point during EBA negotiations / voting was International planned to be at 1% and domestic at 5%. Realistically the pre-COVID 19 network are both operating at 0% without the government funding.
Your argument is valid, but Qantas have an army of lawyers who would rip it apart in FW. Don't forget who we work for here. An opportunity like this is once in a lifetime, and Allan will take full advantage of it.
Ask the contractors building the new sim training building how a signed contract worked out for them. Again, never one to waste an opportunity.
