What makes QFs pilots uniquely entitled to job security in an economy where no other worker has that?
AFAIK:
QFpilots (and engineers for that matter) are only
entitled to job security where the appropriate clauses are included in their binding EBA's.
Thankfully, QF pilots, engineers and any other employee covered by an EBA in this country are
entitled and have the
right to discuss and negotiate to have job security clauses included in an EBA.
I feel sorry for you that employees in your chosen field are apparently unable to industrially organise in the pursuit of improved conditions of employment. Things sound pretty ordinary for you.
QF pilots and engineers have been able to effectively organise via their associations and by endorsement of the majority of their members to negotiate and utilise all legal tools to achieve a satisfactory outcome to their EBA negotiations. That's it.
