This was in the 'Plane Talking' article;
The original EBA which is valid to 2013 contains a provision which was controversial at the time it was entered into allowing Jetstar to hire outside of the terms of the agreement.
Is this true? And if so, what on earth were the negotiators thinking?? If pilots knew about this, what were they thinking voting it up? It seems utterly crazy to give the company such an option.
Surely there is more to it that I am missing.
