Top secret VR numbers. Qantas falling short by roughly $400m in the share raising attempt. ER package that will most likely see 63+ stay on the books. Not looking good for CR.
Secure your future. Take LWOP!

One cannot be stood down beyond Jobkeeper, that's the same as LWOP, which cannot be imposed. Be aware with LWOP, there is no support, you cannot be on jobseeker when on LWOP because you are not unemployed.
Can you elaborate on the mechanism by which LWOP will secure our futures?
You could almost complete a medical degree (4 year grad degree) if you wanted to
Not having a go at the industry but unless you're being supported (such as a 20 year old living with mum and dad) - not a viable path for those needing to replace a salary and support a family.

Why can't you be stood down beyond Jobkepper? You WILL remain stood down until your fleet is back flying. It's legal, and AIPA don't appear willing to challenge it.
Sure. Its very simple. The company is asking us to take LWOP to help them out. In return they will help us out by bypassing us for redundancy. Those who don't help out the company, will see the CR hammer when and if it comes. When CR's happen (and I firmly believe they will), the people who didn't take LWOP will be kicking and screaming. The company will simply say "we gave you the option to take LWOP and you didn't. Now we will be enforcing the EBA that you pilots only voted on 5 months ago".

You sound like a senior pilot squirming in your seat at the thought of all the junior crew taking LWOP and leaving you exposed.
No change in the next 6 months
50% chance of eradication within the country in the next 12 months
High chance of eradication in the next 2 years.
International Borders remain closed for at least 2 years.
If you use this forecast then there's a chance of being recalled early and going back to work. If you're made redundant then you'll be in the last group in any case, when there's a shortage without any certainty of being re-employed at all.
Unless I was over 55 I would do nothing, roll the dice and let it be.
The over 55's have a bit more to consider.
Ime there is no tit for tat
Because being stood down beyond jobkeeper is the same as being made redundant without paying you and the law doesn't provide for that. You can only be employed in some form, LWOP or redundant. everything else is unemployed.

You go and trust Alan and we’ll see who gets fvcked in the end.

Enjoy your gamble. I truely pray it doesn’t bite you (or anyone else) in the arse.
I don't know where you guys are getting this nonsense from and quite frankly is a dangerous precedent.
You are either, employed, full time, part time, casual, paid leave, unpaid leave, resigned, terminated, voluntary redundant, compulsory redundant.
Stand down provisions are legal in Australia, but not indefinitely, it will be called out and that will be when job keeper ends. Then you'll need to be, back at work, on leave, LWOP, resigned or redundant.

Qrewroom readers will note that Normanton recently outed his true identity in a spat on a thread with WK. Same syntax, same petulance, same over inflated sense of entitlement.
Normanton is pushing super hard for people to take LWOP so he can avoid his own CR. There is no altruism in this - its all about him. Ignore his arguments and lies and statements about what AIPA legal has or has not said.
The game is nearly up for you my friend. Enjoy your redundancy payment and the resumption of your RAAF career.

I cant see a cap on how long stand down can be enforced for.
