How good is Alliance!!!!
The anti-vaxxers (sorry, “pro-vaccine choice”) are going to fail.
You need a Flu vaccine to work in aged care.
You need a Covid vaccine to work in hotel quarantine.
Attempts by anti-vaxxers to work in those jobs unvaccinated have failed in the courts:
An aged care worker who was sacked for refusing a flu shot has failed to get her job back after the national industrial tribunal ruled her employer had correctly followed government health directions.
Airlines won’t be any different.

Bravo Aviation will make it a condition of employment.
Those who aren’t vaccinated won’t get employed. Simple interview question will sort it out.
No court battle or fight with the union.
How goods Alliance 😅😂🤣

I don't see what the problem is. Children need to have all their immunizations up to date and checked against a national register before they can attend kindy. The government also has a 'No Jab. No Pay' policy. If your child's immunization status is not up to date, they can deny family assistance payments.

Various shots to work council jobs related to sewage
It all exists, not particularly common but betting it will become more and more common
You'd have a higher chance of falling down the steps on a wet day during a turnaround and killing your self than suffering a career ending reaction from a vaccine.
Just as you don't have to take the vaccine , nor do you have to work at Alliance. It's a choice
How many of those has there been?

Unless Alliance have formed government, and consulted independent medical specialists, then what they are attempting is novel.
Whilst I am all for pilots getting vaccinated, I'd caution against supporting the power to mandate vaccinations being moved from a democratically elected government to a company.
Bottom line is if Alliance want to mandate Covid vaccinations for crew, then they are free to lobby the government to do so.

I find it amusing that a bunch of people ark up at being required to be vaccinated for work, yet in general Australians have basically been shown to be sheeple and do exactly what the government tells us, compared to other nations around the world. This is the future, if you don’t vaccinate you will be left behind, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s Science.

Alliance would have difficulty proving that a vaccine was required due to the inherent nature of the job, particularly for non-customer facing roles such as pilots.
Qantas would have more luck mandating a vaccine for aircrew if it was required for international travel due to the various government border requirements. That would be a different argument.
Whilst I am pro-vax, I am anti- anything that chips away at fundamental human rights, such as the right to refuse a medical procedure. There is a principle at stake. I wonder if this will see the inside of a courtroom?

Alliance (I think this is the right thread) must be doing well to be able to announce new sponsorships. Just taken up Tigers mantle for the Storm.

Qantas and Jetstar meet strong domestic demand with more aircraft, flights
Sydney
Published on 17th June 2021
Additional E190s for QantasLink
The national carrier today announced an expansion of its three-year deal with Alliance Airlines, which provides QantasLink with capacity using Alliance’s Embraer E190 regional jet aircraft and the flexibility to respond to changing market conditions.
The expanded agreement will see the airline increase its options under this deal from 14 jet aircraft to a total of 18. Of this, three are already flying with another five to enter service by October. The E190s will be painted in QantasLink livery and are part of Qantas growing its domestic capacity to at least 107 per cent of pre-COVID levels in FY22.
The first of the 94-seat E190 jets started flying on the QantasLink network last month. The jet’s five-hour range makes it well suited to linking regional centres with smaller capital cities. The introduction of E190s also frees up Qantas’ Boeing 737 aircraft to be redeployed across the domestic network, enabling the airline to launch a number of new routes and add frequencies on existing ones.
Canberra-Adelaide is the latest route to benefit from additional flights made possible by the E190, with frequencies to double from nine per week to 18 per week from mid-July.
Jetstar boosts its Australian-based A320 fleet
Demand for low-cost leisure travel remains strong due to closed international borders and structural changes in Australia’s aviation market. As a result, Jetstar’s Australian domestic network is set to grow to 120 per cent of its pre-COVID schedule in FY22.
To help meet the increased demand, three Airbus A320 aircraft will be temporarily redeployed from Jetstar Asia in Singapore while international travel in the region faces a slower recovery.
These aircraft join the six Airbus A320 aircraft on loan to Jetstar Airways from Jetstar Japan and up to five Boeing 787-8 aircraft set to operate domestically until international travel resumes (previously announced).
CEO COMMENTS
Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said:
“Since travel demand started to recover about a year ago, our strategy has been to think creatively about how we use our fleet to add capacity back in, generate revenue and get more of our people back to work. That’s why we now have 787s flying domestically and A320s on loan from Jetstar airlines in Asia.
“Expanding our long-standing relationship with Alliance gives us access to a different aircraft type without spending any capital. The E190 is perfect for connecting capital cities and regional centres. Its size, range and economics have already let us start seven new routes that wouldn’t have worked with our existing fleet.
“When you combine our fleet, network, loyalty program, lounges, and the fact we offer both full service and low fare travel options, it puts the Group in a good position to deliver for the traveling public as we emerge from COVID.
“Victoria represents about 20 per cent of our total network and with restrictions in Melbourne easing and as borders start to reopen, we expect to see a quick rebound in travel demand just as we have in other cities when lockdowns ended. Our forward bookings certainly suggest that’s going to be the case.”

Don't be surprised to see the entire 30 frames eventually flying for QF. QF keep hammering on about the E190's range so that gives you an idea of what they have planned for the fleet.
The 717's look to be consolidating to the Southern states with very little QLD flying these days.

I heard someone say “Scab” on the radio the other day directed to one of these descending into Alice. Are these E190s being operated by crew being paid under the award still or has that been resolved?
Its no secret the A220 is high on their list to replace 717s but dont be surprised to see a lot more than a 1 for 1 replacement with some to replace older 738s & they will be operated by alliance or network on a much lower cost basis.
