The “Qantas Group” is a construct of the corporate levels in Mascot.
Pilots are merely employees of:
- Mainline,
- Eastern,
- Sunstate,
- Jetconnect,
- Jetstar Aust,
- Jetstar NZ,
- Network,
- Alliance,
- etc….
Each have their own seniority lists & processes. No one has ‘rights’ to opportunities in other entities.
Everything discussed/suggested here is opinion. But any- & everything done by Qantas Group IR/HR is a cynical yet targeted measure intended to minimise costs/attrition/training burden overall. I feel for the ‘-linkers’ with starts dates two years hence, but there are succinct options proposed throughout this thread & none of them are easy for aspiring Mainline pilots.
That’s the reality as I see it. Good luck all.
