Clause 35.4 – Removal of GDOJ Integration => VARA seniority to stay, VARA jobs for VARA Pilots
They way I read it is they did away with the right of return when they decided to remove GDOJ.
But I’m speculating here.
The whole thing is a mess in regards to right of return at VAA. They signed a deed for right of return for Tiger and VAINZ pilots for up to 7 years. The deed for VAI wide pilots has been agreed to but not signed. Unsure of how legally binding that one is.
Plus it hasn’t been explained properly how it all works in regards to getting a position when it comes up. I.e a captaincy comes up in Sydney, is it the FO that gets it who is endorsed and current or the wide body captain who was made redundant. If it’s fleet balancing I think it goes to FO, if it’s a “new” position it goes to the Wide-body.
I’m sure there some one out there in the know who could explain it but from what I know it’s an absolute clusterf**k.
