Where exactly do you think it would apply to pilots?
I feel like you and I might have had this discussion before
I think that there is uncertainty as to whether or not this would apply to some groups of pilots.
If Commissioners believe the legislation is indeed about ‘closing loopholes’ then their individual interpretations of what constitutes ‘the same job’ and what is or isn’t a labour hire company could go either way.
When determining what is ‘the same job’ they might well ask if QF121 on Friday and QF121 on Saturday are part of the same ‘bundle of work’ ?
If pilot B is expected to deliver the exact same ‘bundle of rights’ on Saturday as pilot A delivered on Friday, in the same machine, to the same exacting standards, after receiving the same training, in the same building, delivered by the same instructor, is pilot B not doing the same job as pilot A?
It will come down to the judicious contemplation of several humans and who knows how that unfolds? Did the commissioner have a satisfying breakfast in the Chairman’s Lounge? or were they delayed 24 hours on their last skiing trip to Queenstown? Are they concerned for the future prospects of their grandchild? or are they disgusted by the lack of moral fibre in todays youth?
Nobody knows just yet, but it sure is interesting.
