There is more work now for the Line Stations than there was with all aircraft flying with not enough people on shift. With some aircraft requiring Return to Service checks as well which has an enormous amount of work.
This is the argument from the ALAEA. There has always been useful work for LAME’s.

Is this the game plan ?
The great reset ?
Bankruptcy ,massive restructuring and downsizing to suit the post Covid economy ,renegotiation of all contracts with none of the redundancy costs borne due to the impoverished trading conditions ?
Senior management bonus’ all ‘round !

A company can downsize and restructure without calling in administrators. They aren’t going to exhaust their finances just so they can save a bit of money on pilot EBAs.

Direct from the judgement
This, to an albeit untrained legal eye, would suggest that ending of border closures alone would not be sufficient to end stand downs. A return to near normal passenger numbers and an ending of the pandemic would have to happen as well.
19. By mid-March 2020, as a result of:
(i) the collapse in passenger travel;
(ii) measures implemented domestically and internationally to restrict movement;
(iii) the increasing concern that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic would be sustained; and
(iv) uncertainty as to how long the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic would last,

Then it will fall back on negotiated EA's and any variations.
I highlight this section from this act.
When a directions ends
A qualifying employer could give an eligible employee a JobKeeper enabling stand down direction from 9 April 2020 (when the JobKeeper provisions started). A JobKeeper enabling stand down direction remains in effect until the first of the following:- the employer stops being a qualifying employer
- the employee subject who is stood down by the direction stops being an eligible employee
- it is withdrawn, revoked or replaced (including by the Fair Work Commission, or
- the direction stops applying on 29 March 2021.

Here’s a question for the legal eagles.
Say SYD-LAX opens up sometime in the future. It will at some stage.
Most probably QF will use the 787.
The same scenario for LHR. At some stage.
Does that give QF the right to still stand down 380 crew?
It’s a most likely scenario sometime in the future.

Whilst ever demand is reduced as a result of Covid I suspect that Qantas is going to be able to mount an argument that the grounding of the A380 is beyond their control. I could see that line of argument holding up for at least 12 months after border restrictions are eased. Ultimately I think a judge is going to be ruling on this one.

And it will be a question for the genuine legal eagles unless Qantas decide to magnanimously stand-up all pilots at that time.
I suspect it will be taken to court to determine if Qantas has any "…..other limitation of work for which the Company cannot be held responsible,….".
We can speculate all we like, but it almost certainly will come down to a decision by an independent adjudicator.

There will be no RIN, not for a very long time.
Sorry, I missed a few words out there.
“COVID.... finances.... haven’t recovered adequately yet” all lines the execs will use to argue that a RIN will send the company broke.
Its not happening. Not for a very, very long time.
