it is a mess
I don’t agree with you and we can go round and round in circles till FWA make a decision and neither of us knows what that will be. To further complicate matters pilots who turn 65 are not and IMO can’t be forced to retire from Qantas. So, As there are no vacancies in SH are they A) redundant B) can they remain on stand down until there are SH vacancies, accruing leave entitlements and if in a defined benefit super scheme increased super or C) can they be forced to retire. Only FWA can tell us personally I favour B and if that was so it is a nightmare for Qantas.
