The message seems tighter - keep the focus on the offshore push but....
....link it to what this means to the Australian traveller. (ie WHY Australian passengers want to keep a Qantas pilot in cntrol of Qantas aircraft)
Here are the lines that I would be pushing in the AIPA interviews:
"While the flight crews from these overseas labour hire companies hold a pilots licence - there's no guarantee that their training and experience would allow them to perform as the Qantas pilots did during the QF32 A380 incident".
"Remember Alan Joyce told the Parliament that he saw no issue with Jetstar's decision to put low hour, inexperienced pilots in control of Jetstar aircraft"
"Alan Joyce and his management are only interested in slashing costs & sending Australian jobs offshore via third party companies"
"This is all about slashing jobs and undermining Australian standards. Remember these foreign companies that Alan Joyce wants to carry the Qantas brand could be subject to a lower level of scrutiny from Australian Safety Regulators - that's not good for Australian passengers"
"We are professional people. we would not be taking this action if we did not believe that there are real risks for Qantas passengers"
"Alan Joyce is effectively trying to sub-contract the Qantas brand to overseas companies - just like with the A380 engine issue - when things go wrong it was Alan Joyce and his management that claimed they did not know what was being done to Qantas planes by overseas maintenance contractors including Rolls Royce"
"Alan Joyce claims that the Qantas International brand is not making money but poor management decisions by him and his management have cost the airline millions of dollars [insert list] - all this waste has happened on his watch and while he's crying poor he's very quick to put his hand out for an $11m 'performance bonus' on top of his multi-million dollar salary"
Play professional and appear rational in order to push Joyce into a position to defend nothing but greed.
