You misunderstand the core of the dispute. AIPA didn’t refuse to allow Qantas to direct hire to the A380, they simply insisted that the EA provisions around Bypass be applied as per the LHEA.
As such, the matter is not about whether Qantas have the capacity to train, it is about will they pay the negatively affected pilots. The new hires are training right now, not in 2020 or 2021. Qantas is set to announce a 2 Billion dollar profit for the last FY. So explain to me how Qantas can’t afford to follow the EA due to COVID?
