And what QF management wasn't planning on was to have the QF short haul pilots embroiled with the Longhaul RIN.
Some posters may recall I put a post up a couple of weeks ago about the ability of LH pilots to displace across hauls in the impending RIN.
Only this week has AIPA disclosed this possibility. Although taking a "neatral stance". The AIPA president does hold a view on the transfer of pilots under the RIN.
Perhaps someone with access to crew room should ask WK his opinion?
Wasn't it WK as deputy CP who once wrote that SH pilots are actually long haul pilots on secondment to domestic operations.
If this is the case and they are entitled to bid back to Longhaul per their seniority, then they aren't as isolated from the RIN as some would wish.
