But if Qantas does offer $2 then the pilots don't have to accept it. Then we get to compulsory redundancy. What mechanisms are built into the EBA for this? Is it from the bottom of the seniority list?
If so that means they will have to balance needing to get rid of people NOW with the fact a large number of pilots will be retiring over the next 5-10 years, possibly leaving them short again.
