What will happen to the poor crews stuck around the world. Wouldn't surprise me if AJ chucked them out of the hotels and told them to make their own way back to OZ!
to save you the trouble of reading the entire thread reply number 3 by Skillsy states that staff overseas will not be locked out and will continue to be paid.
In the one strike I was involved in whilst overseas, we had been briefed by the strike callers that when asked by local management - and they did ask - that we were not on strike and if they produced an aeroplane we would fly it.
The strike only grounded all aircraft out of Base, those overseas at the time returned then stopped, our hotel bills were met until the local management had had enough of us, then they sent us home on other carriers at their ( management ) expense, so the lads overseas were looked after until they got home, then they had to make a decision.
Not supporting any argument, just saying what happened.
A very sad day, no-one will "win"
