Where it effects a company like QF, is the cabin crew where you have mainline crew, and QCCA etc working together on the same aircraft on different wages and conditions, as that is the same as the A/B situation as above.
I guess the question then is: Are Qantas group pilots employed by the same company - ie Qantas/“Qantas group” or are they separate companies in fair works eyes.
