When Jetstar was created in Australia, Qantas shrunk. As a result many pilots were demoted. Redundancies were very close and if not for the couple of hundred pilots that took LWOP there would have been redundancies. None of that were the decisions made by QF pilots but they wore the consequences.
When Jetstar was created in NZ, trans Tasman flying previously operated by mainline crews was transferred to the newly nil flying and defunct NZ domestic Jetconnect. Once again QF pilots wore the consequences.
Now that Jetconnect is unable to operate their airframes efficiently, why are Qantas pilots once again the ones who have to wear the consequences.... including an admitted possibility that future managements may use the proposed structure for reasons beyond originally intended?
