Like most agreements undertaken by airlines and Unions many clauses are agreed to under duress during "good times". i.e. Airline thinks 'if I try and take out the seniority clauses regarding retrenchment the union will take Industrial action and cost us millions now'.
Welcome to the real world mate! Regardless of your crappy talking it is a legal contract and in these time WE WIN! Simple and so great! So go and worship Howard and your other Cronies you can talk while WE WIN! Its very simple and quite frankly you lose! There is no damn duress you idiot it is an agreed clause if you dont like it EAT MY SHIRT! and I can guarantee a lot of sweat on it! lol!
