Green Goblin,
You've perhaps misunderstood me. 27/9 was making the suggestion that TTMRA and Open skies might have something to do with the restriction on Kiwi's working in Australia.
You and I agree, that has nothing to do with it. The fair work act facilitates the right of anyone flying a Jetstar aircraft domestically within Australia to be collectively represented on minimum terms and conditions in accordance with our EBA. For better or for worse, Pilots on Kiwi contracts do not qualify for this.
I'm intentionally keeping it very simple to avoid the thread being completely hijacked and heading very far south, I'm sure you can understand. But this post will no doubt put an end to that.
