They don’t even have to do the strike action.
Just notify Fairwork that they plan to, wait for QF to move a bunch of mitigating assets (airframes and crew) to the west coast in the days prior - and then cancel the industrial action the night before.
They’ve played groups against each other for so long now - perhaps it’s time the AFAP played the same game.
It’s about to increase with a new contract they’ve just secured and the 319 arriving.
You’re assuming they’re going to be able to crew them.
From the cheap seats, that appears impossible unless they start reading the room and stop offering an agreement where people who work overtime only get half pay 😂
Any potential applicants to NAA are putting the final nail in their mainline aspirations. Internal group airlines are a career dead end. Better off going to Rex or a GA company for a few years and then joining mainline.
Thoughts on the impact this will have on bargaining?
I think the impact on safety is much more important. Watch the contracts get cancelled en masse when this 750 hour experiment ends with a bent airframe.
