Not quite so simple for a Pilot wanting to stay in Perth and not sit in a plane for 17 hours at a time. NAA is one of the better paying jobs based in Perth (now that Qantas forced NJS pilots out). So an NAA Pilot can’t just leave if they want to remain in Perth and get paid the same.
What they need to be doing is appreciating that QF needs them more than they need QF and encourage their union reps to demand action on negotiating a new EA. If QF is refusing to sit down at the table then time for PIA. Simple.
