First point. Whether it's forgotten or not is a moot point. People can remember you on the other side of the fence when we're all out of a job. Will it make any difference? Not one iota.
Second point. You're correct this is far from over. It appears that both Company and Association agree this is only a reprieve, not a solution. More of the same, if not worse, over the next 12 to 18 months.
In this kind of scenario, the event slowly fades, but there are those that wil find it difficult working with those who have not only been self interested but also have worked against them. I've seen friendships of years dissolve and some never speak again ,changing relationships forever.
There is a null point to be reached for redundancies though, and where that point is must be reliant on whether further agreements can be made. The one unknown is the ability of Qantas managers to seek solutions on their own rather than the ALAEA do it. That's why it's far from over.
