The reality is no one gives a ****.
Two years of stand down really enables someone to plan.
The facts are Qantas is at a precipice. It is not North Korea or some other dictatorship and Kim Jong Al is not Dear Leader.
The people at the coal face have had enough and do not fear the midget mafia.
Time for some tossing.
One R at a time.
I think we just all need to calm down a bit, so far we don’t know the actual variations to be sought in order to secure the A321 for mainline.
For the most part it seems the sticking points are two issues, rostering and international ops. For the most part the aircraft will be operating mostly domestic, it is a domestic aircraft replacement. But it does have the range to fly medium haul international routes and no doubt that will form some of it’s operation. That’s something that will have to be sorted out in negotiations (which are continuing).
As for rostering I’ll hold fire until seeing what the difference the FRMS makes to actual rosters.
By the way if these variations are not suitable for you then you can always stay where you are or bid for a Long Haul type. This just allows those who want to fly the 321 on the conditions proposed. Some prioritise having a career over “shoving it up the company’s backside” to take revenge for what’s happened over the last two years.
