Section 16 REDUNDANCY
Paragraph C. In the retrenchment of pilots on account of redundancy, before any A pilot or Q pilot is retrenched, new-hire pilots will be retrenched. New-hire pilots will be retrenched in accordance with the pilots agreement.

Definitions in integration agreement:
New hire pilot = after the Y
Pilots agreement = long haul award (now determination)

In long haul award - section 16.4 : promotion and demotion will be in accordance with seniority if redundancies occur.
My bold.

Also from the Long Haul WD.

20.2 Application of Short Haul Workplace Agreement
Subject to clause 20.4, upon being cleared to the line on the B737 aircraft, the Short Haul Workplace Agreement will apply.
20.4 Specific provisions continue to apply
Notwithstanding clause 20.2, the following provisions in this Determination will continue to apply to pilots transferred to short haul operations:
Clause 23: Re-employment after medical termination
Clause 24: Leave Bank, preferential bidding and relief from flying
Clause 35.11: Personal leave - Medical Termination
Clause 43: Insurance cover in warlike circumstances
Clause 44: Internment
So the LH WD provides for redundancy in seniority, as does the SH award. The LH award also states that as soon as one checks to line, they are covered by the SH award. No where does it say that if the company is making redundancies in Long Haul, that a SH pilot will be made redundant.

Same goes if redundancies occur in SH.
