Interesting. Does this proposal (is it?) include a guarantee that Bain or any other future owners won't set up a second entity any time in the future the way Qantas have?
That's a big win if they have secured that guarantee, but flip side is, if not, then the threat will always come even after this 'win'
No Timmy, there are no guarantees. But this move consolidates the work groups, so the lowest paid pilots in the group move up. This avoids a potential undercutting of pay/conditions so if they want a Per based former Skywest pilot to fly BNE-PPP with a MEL based pilot, there need be no barrier. I will welcome them to the fleet, and hope they are happy with the move.
