The SH agreement says redundancy provisions are called up from the integration award. The integration award says redundancy is as per the LH agreement, which states that CR is “last on first off”. Therefore, the SH and LH agreement both say that CR is “last on first off” for all Qantas pilots hired after September 1992.
I suspect the company actually know this but it doesn’t help with the narrative they are trying to push. They seem to want everyone in LH (junior and senior) to be fearful for their jobs and to rush into LWOP.
‘genuine redundancy’......
if SH were to be included, they would be eligible for VR...no one, not even AIPA, seems to be pushing for this. I suspect AIPA know they will lose any challenge...but a challenge must be made nonetheless. Will probably lose some SH members along the way. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to this. I also suspect.....it won’t.
