How does this all fit in with the FWA? They way I understand it if you are made redundant from Qantas you can't be re-employed within 3 months back onto a similar job being paid a lesser rate. The clause was brought in to stop companies closing and re-opening the next day with a new name and lesser terms and conditions. So if you get the boot from Q you can't then go to Jetstar? I know there was some kind of exemption given to allow pilots voluntarily leaving a high paid job to go to a lower paid job (Qlink to Jetstar) but I don't see that working in this example as you will have been made redundant.
Is this still the case?
