from what my mate reckons Qantas is using JHAS as a bitch, giving them some wrok to keep them happy, J* asked them to do 330 turnarounds as J* has no 330 coverage, but apparently JHAS told them top sod off unless they sign a contract, they want longterm work rather than scab work.
So unless QF and JHAS are doing some under the table dealings nothing much seems to be happening. They are scratching for work so much that he and half of his crew were sent home due to a lack or work due to a lack of planning.
I find that hard to believe but stranger things have happened
