Couple of things.
Qf Longhaul is not grounded. There are A330s flying selected freight charters overseas and some domestic-predominantly east coast to Perth. It’s extremely disappointing that the government is awarding the remainder of the freight contracts to overseas government owned companies. But that’s another conversation I guess.
Normanton. I’ve read through your diatribe long enough without commenting. For goodness sake. You joined under an EBA. That agreement has provisions that basically say last on first off. It’s not an entitlement senior people are forcing on junior people. It’s the agreement that every pilot who accepts employment at Qantas works under. So stop this nonsense about senior people out to get junior people. You accepted an offer of employment at the company to work under this agreement. When you joined there were going to be people senior to you who in the event of CR would see you leave before them. Accept it and move on. Regardless of where anyone is on the list, no one wants to see any of their colleagues put through the stress of CR. If you believe taking LWOP will prevent you or your colleagues from CR then fantastic. Take it and be be on you way. But please stop this tantrum and carry about senior people out to get junior folk.
