Totally misleading. 6000 employees have not been made Compulsory Redundant. There are up to 6000 positions across the group that will be decreased over time. This will be acheived through VR, LWOP, Jobshare, Part Time, Natural Attrition, Re-Deployment, Parts of the Business being sold etc and yes some employees will unfortunately be subject to Compulsory Redundancy. But I would say they would be in the minority. VR programs all across the group have generated significant interest. There will be no CR in the pilot group. So again, stop this fearmongering nonsense.

How many of the 188 were pilots the company actually wants to go ie. 747/380? How many were off the 330/787 who would presumably be amongst the first stood up if and when international flying resumes?

Not sure.
An educated guess would say the majority who said yes to the package would be older and closer to retirement, therefore more likely to be senior, therefore pilots on the senior aircraft, the 380 or 747.

"There will be no CR in the Pilot Group"

Well that might be your opinion I would believe it when I saw it in writing from the company

Pay increments from date of CTL of SO
  • Nothing in the CR section says you will be re-employed with years of service credited or years of service are credited from the first time you CTL as SO in your first time as a QF employee
  • Different to return from Medical termination where it is specifically stated "years of serviced credited"
  • Two very different things , CR hasn't been done before so no way to anticipate how company will do it. Do you really think they will say "Welcome back Mate , this is all wonderful to have you back , so just to make you feel better we will credit your years of service all those years ago" - I would believe they will do that if it is put in writing by someone very senior (& I am not talking about a Pilot)
Even if your years are credited (which I doubt) , & QF order the A350 , well that means when you return you will be on the new SO scales for Airbus, which max out at $115 an hour (today's rates). So clearly a massive pay decrease will occur. The AIPA should have insisted on a clause , that wouldn't be applied to anyone on the books today - missed that

No agenda here, just the things that I think are important to consider. You have a different view well goodluck to you

I think the fear mongering has been people suggesting people being turned away when they return after a fixed term lwop

CR is indefinite & in my view you will be busted back to year 1 payrates & on the B scale SO table if the A350 is ordered

Enough from me , seems like plenty here know everything have a ability to look into the future & state with certainty what will happen

There isn’t a single business on the planet that will tell it’s employees in writing that there is zero chance they will ever be made compulsorily redundant.

We make informed judgements from the information we know at the time, with reasoning to make an educated judgement about the future. Management have announced a 3 year recovery plan with a final pilot number that VR and retirements have reduced the surplus down to that final number. From the information we know today no further redundancies should be necessary.

Anything on here from those four is pure speculation, and at worse, pure bs.
That's only because it's not what you want to hear and this time management hold all the cards, yes there's some bs in it why not, so is everyone else's opinion, it becomes difficult to take anyone seriously, which doesn't come as any surprise. I don't believe you guys realise how deep the **** is you are standing in. With LH at 20% of precovid and SH at 50% at best, blind freddy can see that 180 redundancies isn't going to do it. Management can do what ever they want. If you can't do anything about it, what makes you think your union can. Any action they take sets one group of pilot members against another group of pilot members within the same company, they won't do that, their hands are tied and management know it.
I'm sorry to be blunt, but you asked for it.

So what, Xeptu? You don’t think we know that? What’s your point, and why do you need to keep repeating it? It sucks at the moment. I’m concerned for the future for both me and my 3 kids, but I don’t understand why you are even posting here. At least Normanton has a purpose, people may not like his opinion, but at least he actually says something. You on the other hand, well, f#$ked if I know. Go away, please.

And I feel your pain, I mean that. I'll step out, goodluck to you.

P.S our very own sitting health minister made reference to the Industrial Court tonight on telly, so I'm not alone in being a bit behind the times. At least I'm retired and been away from it in a while.

I feel like my responsibility on this thread is now the Xeptu fact checker, kind of like facebook and twitter are doing now.

Where did you pull these numbers from? Reference? Nope? Log off.

Plus one.
Yep. Xeptu, International is less 5%, Domestic at 18%. You are not even close. All you have is FUD. Go away, you are just embarrasing yourself with your lies, inaccuracies and scaremongering. Go and find a hobby.

That is because Tino and QF believe the A380/B787 pilots can be stood down long after any COVID restrictions are removed. They will happily sit by the phone for up to 3yrs and then one day QF will ring and the very next day they will be turning up for work. What they fail to acknowledge is that subdued demand beyond COVID becomes a commercial decision and stand down legislation doesn't apply.

They don't think fed up pilots will begin to take legal action to determine exactly when it moves from a restriction of supply to one of demand and hence stand down provisions can't be applied. Is it when quarantine restrictions are completely removed, is it when there is a vaccine, a travel vaccine certificate?

Since your post is directed to me personally.

Feb 20 AJ's statement regarding forecast expectation. For which the redundancy forecast is predicated.

Jun 04 AJ's statement revised forecast expectation. None of which happened.

Where you're supposed to be end July verses where you are now. It appears my lies and inaccuracies are less frightening than yours.

Go and re-read your post. You said International at 20%, Domestic at 50%. At least when you write on here at least be close to the truth.
Why are you coming on here with your doom and gloom? Do you thing junior QF crew are under enormous stress, and then people like you come on here and spread your lies is going to do any good?
You are as bad as QF Management during EA negotiations.

Domestic will be at 100% within 6 months of the borders opening. Probably more.

International will depend on vaccines and borders.

We would want at least 80% of our population vaccinated before we open our borders, so yeah that sounds about right.

Or states may allow individuals to cross their border once they can prove they've had their vaccination. No jab, no fly?

And if there is no vaccination which is a more likely outcome then what?

Could you please post the piece of public health information that backs up that claim?

Xeptu I took your post to mean that you were leaving this thread and allowing ACTUAL Qantas Pilots to discuss and debate.

Your scare mongering, posturing and overall fear campaign is better suited on Mark McGowan’s Facebook page with the rest of the petrified West Australians who think open borders and COVID is a death sentence for our country. It’s not! The alternative option of keeping everything closed up is the surest way to ruin our otherwise prosperous nation.
