Is that why Qantas management are pushing for a 5 year EBA.
Is that why the 767 RR leases have been pushed out to coincide with the expiry of said EBA.
Voila, same time 787's mooted to come to Mainline.
Is this so Management can then use the full force of WorkChoice (or what ever little Johnny wants to call it this week) Operational redundancy or what ever it's called.
Here's a job at JetStar T&C's or there's the door.
Instead of Qantas pilots hovering around the 50th percentile for pay and conditions they will be down in the basement with their JetStar cousins.
That's progress Dixon style for you!
