God forbid you lose your job at one of the ****test, low paying, bottom feeding, undercutting jet operators in Australia. They could have walked out of NJS and into one of the plethora of other operators that QF have decided to slap a kangaroo on the tail of the next day. Also if they did decide to make good on the threat of giving the A220 to a different operator where do you think they would have found a bunch of suitable pilots to operate them…
It was a spineless short sighted move to accept that contract and now they have to pay the price for it. I hope they all find better paying jobs somewhere where their skills and experience are valued and they learn a valuable lesson about taking the pineapple next time a company threatens them at the negotiating table.
