This will most likely occur and was almost ready to go ahead in the form of Adam Air in Indonesia. It will be a separate business, with ownership determined by local law according to which country it is located in.
Let me give you a quick tip for beginners. If you are trying to win an argument on Pprune, any argument at all, don't use Adam Air as an example.
This may be true but it doesn’t relate in anyway to your proposed industrial action. The QF board isn’t really interested in salaried workers providing their opinion as to how successful the airlines long-term strategy will be.
Really? What about the people who don't care about a payrise? What about the people that don't care about staff travel? I would suggest to you that the reason the PIA vote returned 94% in favour is because people are absolutely fed up with the direction management is taking this company, regardless of relatively minor issues like pay and conditions. Do you really think throwing them couple of free trips a year will change their minds? Not much point if they're going to be out of job in a few years. The only thing that will get the workforce back on side is seeing AJ and the board gone. So the board
should be interested in their workers' opinions, if only to preserve their own arses.
