This Act though could have the opposite effect desired by management. There are rumours that Qlink want to expand their routes. With obvious retirements and expansion on the cards this could in the long run be harmful to pilot recruitment and may strike the death knell of Qlink. Who would want to become an employee for Qlink due to this unfair act if it disadvantages your future career within the group? If you're deciding between Rex or Qlink as a possible career path ... its a no-brainer really.
The question is though what is AFAP doing about it????
