1A has hit the nail on the head.
The real issue is that FWA and the current labour laws are a dead-dodo if the PIA is terminated.
All an employer has to do now is lock out a workforce in PIA and apply to FWA for termination.
I expect that the Qantas offshoring plan will be implemented now almost immediately. The whole 'red q' thing is a BS smokescreen. As many have pointed out the A320 NEO doesnt meet any of the range or capacity criteria.
Expect to see A380's in Singapore flown by contractors sooner rather then later
