I would like to address one of the views emerging on this thread about relief from LOFO requirements of the workplace determination (ie: redundancy on type). This is of course IMHO but heres the thing: to seek such relief Joyce et al would need to approach FWA for such a ruling.
AFAIK, FWA is made of of the same people now that were there when Joyce and Co grounded the airline and forced determination. The results of that (the current WD) demonstrate pretty clearly that FWA was not of the thinking that they would do Joyce's dirty work for him. Now, if Joyce goes back to FWA with this request for relief from a provision of the WD that he essentially forced FWA to do, I don't think his chances are that high. If he were to try it a year or two down the track, perhaps with more Abbot appointees on FWA then yes I think it's a real possibility but not as much right now. Again, just IMHO.
