‘We have contingency plans to minimise disruption’
No they don’t.

Where are there F100 pilots they can suddenly call on & on top of that if they did actually find a few 320 drivers on the east coast what a logistical nightmare to get them to Perth.
Just more HR huff & puff.
More than a few of them will see this as a suck up opportunity with some extra pay if it goes on more than a day.
Does anyone know if the Network pilots manage to get yearly salary increases above 3% and/or reject the 2 year wage freeze, do those then automatically get applied to all the Qantas Group EBAs that have already been signed off so far with a 2 year wage freeze and 3% increases? If so, it should be called the Network allowance!
I’m going to take a wild guess that the answer to that one is ‘no’. Love your optimism though.
The mines won’t stand for distruption.
Will there be a fleet of charter aircraft put on for the FIFO that day?
Great work Network crew, finally an Aussie pilot group standing tall!!

Most charter/fifo operators ranging from Barons to E190’s have their own clients and schedules to meet with very little flexibly in their own staffing levels. The contingency plan will probably involve an extra day off for outbound mine workers and an extra days slog for those already at site. Unless they can get them all to Port Headland and put on a couple A330’s 🤔

As for the outgoing crew, there likely won't be any extra days off, as the companies will use the same excuse they do when a cyclone hits on Day14/21 and they keep you on site until the red alert is over..."We are not responsible for flight delays...."

They are not going to deviate from the wages policy. What will happen is there will be some cash Under the table to bring the package up. (Just like the engineers and JQ who got more than 3%). But management must be able to stand up and beat their chests declaring that the peasants signed another EBA within the "wages policy."
The alternative is no resolution and this becomes a test case with the new intractable bargaining.laws.
This could be a disaster for QF so can't see them wanting to pursue that avenue.

I believe there is an agreement in place that any pay rise outside the wages policy would then apply to all the other entities as.well. However, this is QF and they'd probably just ignore such agreement should it become necessary.

They’re the ones who used this as a threat. Interesting they would want to open themselves up to a determination given how well they have gone for them recently.
Dont vote yes for rubbish like that. Those ‘allowances’ won’t attract Super (that alone could cost you $100K+ depending on your age) and can be removed at the next EA.

What will be interesting is that if this does end up down the path of an intractable bargaining order
If they have half a brain between them they’ll be managing this as one event ( one long fire front ) and be acutely aware that they can’t afford spot fires popping up behind them, they have limited resources. They’ll also be aware that todays big news story is quickly forgotten tomorrow……..unless its media value is annoyingly kept alive by the court system. They will be highly motivated to avoid any new court actions until they have weathered the worst of the storm. The timing on the 4th October couldn’t be better for our WA colleagues.
