Oh dear, wrong on almost every count. And you should have read all my post.
The thing is, from any objective viewpoint, the Qantas Group has a big challenge ahead, with competition hotting up on all fronts. In what universe would Qantas NOT start up a LCC to compete. If the AIPA strategy is to increase the size of the Heritage Fleet and promise to pay all pilots much much more then I reiterate.....AIPA is as useful to the group's competitiveness as a bicycle is to a fish.
However in the task of destroying Jetstar and the short term gain of a few 787 jobs, AIPA might be very effective. Be the first time though.
