And if they didn’t vote for the stand down provisions what would have happened? An HPE group formed to map out concerns??

JQ does what JQ does and sells low fares, the $34 fares have been on sale from the 1st of July from the day they stopped flying in March.

AirNZ tried to do what AirNZ does and tries to terminate the competition through any means necessary, if you can’t win on price or service or OTP, time to try other methods.

After a discussion was had between CEO’s and NZALPA, the sims were reinstated but the anticompetitive behaviour leaves a sour taste.
What would one expect with Walmart running the show?

I have heard that this action was taken by someone much further down the chain than the CEO but when the CEO was advised of this by NZALPA it was quickly reversed. It was a strange move considering Jetstar only use the slots that Air NZ pilots can't contractually use i.e midnight - 4 am.

All signs point to yes.

Interesting that JQ are looking to bring back aircraft and stand up pilots and cabin crew, at the same time air NZ are looking at another round of redundancies, yet it’s JQ who are being vilified on this thread.

Seeing as Jetstar NZ have 0 pilots who are receiving a pay check as of today it’s not really surprising that they are bringing pilots etc. back. Air NZ don’t have the luxury of picking and choosing IR laws, they really had no choice but to make people redundant.

Two totally different scenarios, Jetstar will be in a much stronger position going forward due to it’s lack of long haul international exposure. Air NZ like Qantas Mainline have a massive exposure to long haul groundings for a significant period, the luxury that Qantas has is that they are able to stand people down of their choosing on no pay, Air NZ can not. So Air NZ is possibly facing paying someone $300,000 per year when there is no useful work for them, their only choice barring that pilot volunteering to go on LWOP, is to make people redundant. This will mean the most junior people which still doesn’t solve the $300,000 guy sitting at home, to make use of him/her requires a massive down training programme, Air NZ are screwed by their contract. It will be up to the pilots now to vote on a solution, would the A320 pilots and Longhaul SO’s have the numbers to vote through a variation allowing the company to assign LWOP? If not good luck getting the $300,000 guy to volunteer to do so.

9 News just now had a story on a infected passenger that flew Melbourne to Bundaberg via Brisbane. They are in the process of contacting all passengers.

These are the sort of stories that won’t put any confidence in the travelling public to return. There is such a small network now, but any increase of 5-10% will see more of these stories appear. The whole family in my house echoed the same sentiment, we won’t be flying anytime soon. Probably early next year.

I know the economy needs to get moving but the airlines really have their hands tied.

If someone contracts the virus on the flight, absolutely.

However, I think you’ll find the majority of the public see COVID19 as yesterday’s problem as the news cycle as now moved onto the Black Lives Matters protests

Pretty sure if you are a Queensland resident you can still travel in from interstate. Also if it is essential work related travel and you have documentation to verify it.

5 aircraft would be a full domestic schedule. So this will be more like 3 airframes.
