What The
That is not true. Some impulsive pilots knew better than everyone else and did a deal behind everyone's backs. Some of those involved moved into management. The results are there for all to see.
I agree, the results are indeed there for all to see – Qantas pilots falling over themselves for a chance to sign up to Jetstar conditions for a quick command. Every time commands have been advertised to Qantas there is an oversubscription of your colleagues for those positions.
There was only one FSO where there was an unfilled vacancy not taken up by a Qantas pilot. That was when the Jetstar PC stood up and put the brakes on with the Darwin base freeze, although your union (my ex union) had a major meltdown and cracked the s#%ts.
I note with irony that your location is Darwin. You’re not a Qantas group pilot who is / was recently Darwin based are you?
And the biggest load of crap ever
AIPA actually got them more money via a retention bonus.
Which retention bonus would that be? This sounds like typical AIPA propaganda. Claiming credit for something it has ZERO to do with.
