Whilst the AFAP have definitely done a good job with this I think you'll find that AIPA weren't consulted or even notified of the application at the tribunal last Thursday.
I'm lead to believe that AIPA have been very proactive on the issue however but treading with a bit more caution to ensure the MOU between Jetstar and Qantas was protected also, not just for Qlink pilots to be able to go to mainline and Jetstar.
Having said that, the outcome is excellent and as you said, much more impressive given the time frame with no test case. Good news for all within the Qantas group!
