Eastern -> Qantas progression

[adam210]

I understand that there was union conflict in the 90.s that currently prevents Eastern pilots from geting a job at Qantas mainline.

I was interested to know why that is so, and if this is still happening.

On average, if any, how many EAA pilots manage to go into mainline? What background do they have? i.e are they 89ers, or pilots in their mid 20s who would have been around 10 years old in 1989 and thus have nothing to do with the conflict

Thanks
