Don’t for a second think that all of those shiny new A321 NEOs are going to mainline, dangle that carrot in front of the Network crews and they’ll be falling all over themselves to sign any deal.
Between the E190s at Alliance, A220s in QantasLink and A320s at Network, Qantas domestic is slowly being outsourced.
Slice and dice the master plan is coming together perfectly!
Keep dreaming mate. All the A321’s and a dare say a fair chunk of the A220’s will be going to mainline. Don’t believe it? When the company can’t get pilots to fly them at the subsidiaries, do you think they’re just going to accept their shiny new metal just sitting around parked up? It’s already close to happening, give it a bit longer and it’ll only get worse.
Good luck to the NWA crews with your PIA. It’s the beginning of the end for managements erosion of Pilot terms and conditions finally.
