Believe the implementation of a Group Opportunity Allocation List (The GOAL) would restrain Qantas' globalisation plans in a manner not dissimilar to what would have been required, had the applicant for the Qantas Sale Act case been successful in his endevours.
Understand the case provided leverage to negotate a win/win outcome for Qantas and
all its pilots.
That AIPA blinked is simply unbelievable!
That Qantas didn't have the forsight to settle, will now make it that much harder for the Company to have the Sale Act amended to accommodate the forces of global competition its needs to overcome if it is to survive.
Tis truely a pity that yesterday's hearing in the Federal Court didn't go ahead. If it had, the door would now be open to meaningful negotiation.
