I’m wildly against B scales in principal as well but it’s easy to forget how that “negotiation” went down.
Qantas threatened to outsource the 350 or start another entity to fly it if that agreement didn’t get up. Legal advise was that as they were new aircraft on new routes there was no transfer of business and it would have been completely legal.
Combine that with the fact COVID took hold and the EBA vote was in April 2020 while most people were stood down it didn’t really leave mainline pilots in a strong bargaining position did it
