The Job Security clause was never about a guaranteed job for life.
As far I was aware, in very basic terms it referred to a mindset that if an aeroplane had a Qantas tail on it, then it was to be crewed by a Qantas crew.
32R,
It just goes to show how much you were ill-informed or perhaps misled.
The AIPA defined job security claim included : a new payscale based on aircraft max weight, new redundancy provisions, a restoration of relative staff travel categories for pilots, increased loss of licence amounts, a requirement that all Qantas associated and entity pilots have pay and conditions no less than the Longhaul EBA provisions, access to all facilities that a First class passenger has when deadheading.
Note there was no claim anyway related to "a mindset that if an aeroplane had a Qantas tail on it, then it was to be crewed by a Qantas crew."
I am reliably informed that Qantas was told at every opportunity there would be no settlement unless and until all items were satisfied.
