I think someone asked if JobKeeper would be paid to those who voluntarily take LWOP (as opposed to the current stand down provisions).
There is not a chance in hell the government would allow this. That $1500 a fortnight would instantly vanish the day you commence LWOP (including any further extension in some sort of potential Aviation keeper form)
I'm still confused about what protections you'd have as a junior pilot who takes LWOP now, only to return in 12 months and be CR soon after if the business is still down? Why not say as a group "if CRs are going to commence, then we will enforce LWOP in reverse seniority? Seems much fairer
