Oh boy. The Q pilots are squealing like stuck pigs.

For those not in on the situation, back when Qf "bought" Australian for a bargain price off the Gummint of the day they had to strike a deal to work out seniority for the 2 groups.

One rocket scientist manager by the initials WK and a mate worked out a deal over a dinner table one night. Create 2 groups. A pilots got domestic Q pilots got international to simplify it. Any future type not yet in service would be shared as necessary between the 2 groups fairly. As usual the Q blokes want the lot and management are no doubt are happy with that. Very cosy.

Unfortunately for them an independant arbitrator is looking at the original agreement to work out who gets what. The original agreement is coming under real scrutiny for the first time.

The Q people are getting nasty as shown above indicating that they are sh*tting themselves.

Watch this space ladies and gentlemen.
