Its not the company's fault. It's not Allan's fault. It's not the pilot's fault. But that's the hand that's been dealt.
It's smart business accounting. Nothing more, nothing less.
Really then why would you pay it to a 380 pilot who is 62 when he has said today they are grounded for 3 years? Secondly they are not and cannot be made to retire they remain accruing annual and long service leave the same as everyone else and don’t tell me I’m wrong as the next one is 65 tomorrow and he has been told he can remain on jobkeeper along with the three that are already there.
