The ex-Perth pilot thing is a dead cat being thrown on the table by the telegram mob to try and discredit the proposal by attacking the integrity of the negotiating team. Ex-PER pilots whose families still reside in WA will naturally bid for tours involving PER layovers, many other pilots will probably bid to avoid them, guess where Jbid will allocate PER overnights as a result. But for the hard of thinking this is used as a weapon to encourage division.
Do the ex PH pilots have JBid? I sure don’t.
