You will always find special people popping up when the situation suits.

The deal is they responded to an FSO for LWOP opportunities in Network. They obviously were successful and are now working for Network on the Network EBA. After 18 months they either go back to their respective airlines or stay with Network.

The smart thing to do would have been offer the Cobham pilots that are being booted from Perth jobs at Network. Being long term Perth residents, many of these blokes will be returning to Perth when pilot job opportunities improve anyway.

I’ve heard there are Network crew in Singapore right now doing their type rating on the bus as it was easier to find temporary replacement Fokker crew.

I’m sure plenty of mainline pilots have walked to and from the carpark alongside Network pilots and have never had anything but a friendly chat, so again circumstantial evidence leads me to believe this situation didn’t happen or was blown out of proportion.
And also leaving out the fact that plenty of NA and mainline pilots are mates outside of work, and plenty have worked in both companies and still have mates in both companies, any notion of a widespread conflict between both groups is false. Anyone trying to stoke tensions should stop.
