I think those pilots left at Qantas can expect this to be the next diversion..
Joyce committed to the A320 NEO...JQ is capacity saturated.
He wants mainline to be distracted...
Wash, rinse and repeat for QF shorthaul...
Insert subsidiary bidding war for the next downward move in terms and conditions..
Despite demographically driven short fall in supply of pilots, as always erosion of conditions is the union mantra..
