Ok I'll bite. Yadot, the only people blocking a combined list is the Company. BOTH pilot councils have a few times tried to get them combined only to be blocked by Qantas HR.
As for jets, the SSA pilot council was asked many moons ago to put a jet rate into the EBA by....the Company. I'm pretty sure most if not all SSA pilots don't believe for one second jets are coming. Cobham seem to do that job just fine.
I know you're looking for someone to blame at this emotional time. Perhaps look towards those that make the decisions. Yep, the Company.
Neither pilot council was consulted at all prior to the 'big annoucment' and both pilot councils are no doubt working very hard to get the best for the pilots out of this mess.
If you have any concerns I suggest you talk to your reps. Otherwise, STFU.
