Mr Al Coholic,
AIPA took Qantas to court, not the Jetstar pilots.
You will find that in case history involving a proven transmission of business the judge has always left the staff in place and has given them the conditions from the transferred entity.
Wholesale sackings would never happen because the basis of Transmission of business is only about the terms and conditions involved. It has nothing to do with which individuals do the work.
So if AIPA had won, not a single Jetstar pilot would have been moved, it is just that Jetstar 330 pilots would have got a rather large raise.
I reckon this proves that, generally, AIPA has honourable intentions. They (meaning us QF pilots) were funding a legal action which would see Jetstar guys get the bonus.
The win for QF pilots would have been the removal of a very stark comparison that presently exists for widebody T&C's within the group.
