Some good posts here.
I can only think of positives for both Jetstar and Qantas pilots.
A group opportunity list will provide more options for everyone whilst keeping a united front.The Qantas group would love us to remain divided and to fight between each other. Lets F%#@ their plans to keep us divided.
If you want to stay on the A320 for years then you have that choice but at some point individuals may feel like a change and this will make it possible.Greater choices are a bonus for both groups.
A united union will be stronger and have far more influence on Qantas management.To jump in now to a collective AWA seems daft.
There will always be sceptics but the majority of both Jetstar and Qantas pilots are hardworking good people who
both deserve good union representation and decent conditions to go with it.
Here is a great chance to unite all Qantas Group pilots.Time to grow up, ignore the company spin and the moaners and move forward for the good of
all group pilots.
Perhaps we should organise a piss up and a BBQ with both JQ and QF flight crew. I'm sure then we would all realise that there are great guys and girls in both Jetstar and Qantas.
