They will build an airline with foreign based labour, paying them less than the cost of living in Australia if they could. It is happening in IT/computer industry, they did in the states with the RJ's, they are trying in Europe with the whole EU setup (ie no borders) and now they will try it in Australia with Asian and NZ crews.
Thankfully for pilots we won't be undercut by Asian counterparts because the airlines in Australia won't want to have the training costs of Asian airlines. They will however start running everything out of NZ with subbies flying around in Jetstar/QF/
VB aircraft. You will just work for a labour hire firm who has a contract to provide labour for your particular airline.

Why didn't the unions go for scope clauses like the US unions?
How does CASA regulate foreign operators flying in its jurisdiction?
Maybe AIPA should have let Impulse to join them eh? Good decision that one!
How can Cabin Crew share hotels rooms under all these new Fatigue Management systems??
