Re-read my post matey.
I never have nor ever will advocate a reduction in
VB's pay or conditions. Work Rules changes will hopefully be a win-win for pilots and Management. Work Rules changes could involve flexibility etc, not a reduction in conditions.
I could see PB's operation moving to a Sydney base with a long-haul consideration for whoever gets the gig -
VB or PB.
History will tell but either way there is no way I see the
VB crew signing off on a long haul/widebody deal as shabby as the one J@#*r have signed !
