Network aircraft to be crewed by JQ pilots
The A320 was flown down from Seletar to PER on a JQ flight number.
For years Alliance and National Jet have been flying aircraft for Qantas and Qantaslink.
Network flight operated by Jetstar ?

And in alot of cases in breach of their own eba conditions as they wanted to help the company out to get the operation started in NZ
Why didn’t they just get Jetstar to operate these flights? Could a LCC not bid for the contract?
There is more to this of course, look ahead to a Network base in Perth with 80-90% A320 aircraft and think about what they could do from there.

I do however understand the frustration
demonstrated in some of the correspondence AIPA has received. I ask
for your patience as AIPA works through its industrial and legal
contingencies.

What would you have done if you were AIPA president a few months ago? Looking forward to your detailed plan.

They way I see it, nothing could be further from the truth.
Surely you can recognise that the potential and inclination for such moves has long been recognised by AIPA, and which was indeed the basis of the industrial action and lockout several years ago.
“Qantas Aircraft, Qantas Pilot”
That the action was ultimately unsuccesful in it’s main aim was unfortunately the result of other unions joining the bandwagon with unrealistic claims and damaging action, forcing the Company’s hand.
AIPA’s campaign, on the other hand, was well thought out, and strategically designed to address precisely these kind of moves by the Company.
Your insinuation that AIPA is napping is untrue and unhelpful. Especially from the other side of the planet.

I actually asked a retrospective question - what would he have done differently? Not sure there’s any giant secrets involved in asking that. Let’s be honest - there is no magic plan that would’ve changed anything.
Since the Australian government has shown how pi$$ weak it is in standing up to corporate power the only logical industrial action left is to strike. Given that soft industrial action is met with such a over powering response by companies you might as well do it properly and shut down the airline and get the industrial upper hand rather than repeat the stupidity that occured last time around.
The pyschological barrier pilots have to get over is the fact that they actually care for the company more than the management. This was demonstrated in spades by the shutdown. The pilots took action which cost the company $0. The company's response cost millions

If you think grounding the airline is going to give you the upper hand then I hope you aren’t running industrial strategy for pilots 😬

Oh, wait....
You’ll end up in FWC and get an arbitrated deal that’s no better than what you could’ve negotiated.

I would suggest that a real threat of a real strike with angry pilots would probably put some pressure on senior management especially if it was coming into bonus season.

You're right. Perhaps pilots should wear ties and make PAs and let the airline ground the airline. That way the pilots lose no money, the company loses circa $200 million, and we end up in the FWC with an arbitrated deal that was probably better than what we were prepared to negotiate.

You need to understand how they think. And giving in to industrial pressure is not an option for them.
