The JPC and their illustrious leader didn't want anything to do with AIPA, although, the JPC and their group of merry men will go around telling everyone that AIPA shunned them. The JPC saw that QF mainline flying was going to go to them, and under threats and intimidation by the once TJ, and AJ re base closures, loss of command prospects etc, they were told to have nothing to do with AIPA.
Then when the Tasman flying came along, JPC and their illustrious leader again went sniffing to the company to get a deal, but were told by TJ that if you roll over your EBA, you will get the Tasman flying.
Then to add insult, when they start flying, they put out all sorts of spin saying how well they are doing, mmm, now lets see, they get all the handouts from QF, plus they get all the transferred pax from QF flights....
But hey guys, keep the dream alive, you guys rock!! Jetstar is such a cash cow for QF......yeah right!
