I have been told by a very reliable source that the suspended pilots are still suspended without pay.
There was even one pilot who was on annual leave overseas at the time who was also issued with a suspension notice!
Pilots have been ordered to see the company doctor for "a second opinion".
This even includes a pilot who had prior approval to take his child to Oz for medical treatment to front the company doctor for a second opinion.
Also the removal of some Cairns flights from the new schedule further reduces the ability to get home on days off. Troops are not happy.
