".....do to try and protect flying on future Qantas aircraft such as B787. Lets face that's what this is all about - Are Qantas pilots going to get to fly B787 in Qantas livery?"
QF pilots have no legal entitlement to fly the 787 or even any current fleet type. If QF chose to operate the 787 under a different banner with contract crew then QF pilots have no avenue of complaint.
