Air Canada flying for Qantas
Guys, if you are considering coming out to fly on the Qantas contract, be aware you are taking jobs of Australians whilst flying for Qantas. According to your union this has been approved by the Ansett Pilots Association. This is not so. At the moment, there are nearly 800 pilots stood down without pay in Australia, many endorsed on the 767. There are also 767's on the ground here too. There has already been one suicide over the job losses. It is an extremely emotive issue down here and Qantas will be winning no friends if they bring in foreign aircraft and crews when Australian ones are available.
