A court case against an obvious shell company subsidy gets thrown out on jurisdictional grounds.
Even taking legal industrial action of the most minor variety gets shut down by the federal government.
AIPA very much has the cards stacked against it in fighting this erosion of flying. Despite that, after 2 decades of Qantas trying, mainline pilots still hold on to the majority of their hard won conditions. That ought to be more amazing.
AIPA doesn’t need to keep pushing to gain coverage of those crews. Talk about conflict of interest. The rainbows and lollipops idea of covering all group pilots as being the best scenario for all is BS.
