I don't think the AOA has the slightest idea of when the stupid and ineffective employment ban, or the subs at 4% will end.
Their only hope is with the court cases. Which I think the AOA will lose - the company has better lawyers.
The AOA don't have (and never had) the strength to undertake effective industrial action.
For whatever reason they failed to reach a negotiated settlement (I think due to greed and ego on the part of the AOA).
So it is a legal victory or total failure.
My advice re the ban: Take the job.
About job security: Do your best to make your airline the best. Without pax handing over the $, the share holders don't get their returns and sooner or later the company will restructure (with cuts) or fail. At the end of the day the business must make $. Turnball and co have been very good at this, therefore my job at CX is safe. It is only the AOA who are putting it at risk.
