Firstly Ewan come along on Wed and try and spread your "lets cave in now" attitude. If the majority agree, we will stand back and let the place be decimated.

Why not?

Happens every day in businesses around the country, aviation is no different.
Yes I know it does but these businesses don't have EBA's or Agreements with the same or similar job security clauses as ours. We spent all last week debating it in Fed Court with the uberpriced Qantas legal team. I know Romulus you will understand this a little.

Our clause is explicit, it protects us by stating that Qantas will "retain the existing job functions of employees covered by the Agreement". They can slip the net by "retaining" in a different State (Bne Heavy) so long as the Employees are also covered by the Agreement. Anything else seems to be pushing the boundaries too far.
