Zep,
The 787 is going to eventually replace the greater part of the QF fleet. Of course AIPA members are not going to take it lying down if they are not able to crew it on satisfactory terms and why would you expect them to.
THE WHOLE POINT OF A GROUP OPPORTUNITY LIST IS TO PREVENT THINGS FROM GETTING TO THIS POINT.
Not only that, but we also end up with a situation working to EVERYONES’ benefit where one group can’t be played off against another and we all share increased career path opportunities. It’s really quite simple. Please get to a road show if you can.
Regards,
Nuf.
