So they sorted the transfers between Easterns/ Sunnies and Mainline?
Didn't think so
SDD, bit of a "glass half empty" quote there?
As
Rmcdonal pointed out, there wont be any transfers to Mainline until they start recruiting again.
But Jetstar are recruiting, and if you want to take up an offer with them, you wont have to wait at home for 90 days (like what happened in July to an EAA captain). There are also a few Qlink guys that want to transfer between Eastern/Sunnies. The Transmission of Business clauses prevented that; but now that avenue has reopened.
The FWA and the Transmission of Business clauses resulted in a significant hurdle for intra-group transfers. Having a section of federal legislation changed within 6 months of implementation (and without a test case to work with) is a pretty good effort, IMHO!
And this thanks to the AFAP! There was ZERO help from AIPA on this, as they considered it "Not their problem".
Ironic, really. There was a lot of comment from Qlink pilots in THIS thread

about how useless the AFAP were, and how great AIPA were, etc.
Seems to me, that the first effective move to improve Qantas group unity was done by the AFAP!
