This submission is a tactic by AIPA in relation to the very significant redundancies that will occur after the new contract is arbitrated next year - it has nothing to do with the reality or otherwise of the group seniority list.
Riiiiight, so AIPA propose a LWOP system that is designed to fail from the outset. They put up a proposal so unreasonable that Qantas find it unpalatable, and AIPA have to keep it secret from subsidiary pilots as it is so wonderful. Great foresight on those fronts.
How about Qantas and subsidiary pilots won’t agree to AIPA’s LWOP proposal because it is obtuse. You can cling to your ridiculous theory of looking through prisims or the bottom of beer bottles for all I care.
The LWOP proposal is the height of arrogance. AIPA and a number of their so called leadership, believe that they should have their seniority recognised at the expense of other pilots. This has nothing to do with a so called reasonable proposal, and everything to do with protecting ones own hide at the expense of subsidiary pilots.
If you were serious about looking after your junior pilots, you would have facilitated a system for them to go to the subsidiary companies at the bottom of the list, not create a system that will hinder their movement.
