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.
I was there Thursday (interested bystander not involved in any way).

Outcome will be interesting.
