Network Aviation PIA
No roster changes yet I hear. Does anyone know if mainline have put contigencies in to bring across more 737s? Also hear they are trying to recover flights on the Tuesday before and Thursday after PIA. Take that as you will for roster management purposes
I have a pretty bad manflu at the moment (not covid, did a test), if anybody wants to catch up for a beer while I'm still infectious, let me know

Ironically, that's part of the reason they are in PIA in the first place.
On the flight booking page on the Qantas website it looks like Alliance are scheduled to do the PER-DRW route (usually operated by NAA a320s) and PER- ADL (usually operated by QF737s) on the 4th October. It will be a shame if more of these flights pop up as it will dampen the much needed effect of PIA that the NAA pilots are fighting so hard for.
Good luck guys and girls, keep fighting for a brighter future for all Australian pilots!

heard Alliance doing some Network flights. Wouldn’t want to be those pilots. Haven’t they heard about the 89 list
It seems to me that the Alliance pilots are legally required to do the work assigned to them as they aren’t part of the PIA. ( unless of course they’re not fit to fly due to a sick wife/ husband/ child or noisy neighbour keeping them up all night).
Whatever the answer is, I think we, as pilots, should avoid throwing stones and disparaging other pilot groups completely over the next wee while. The fractures and bad blood will ensure worse results than if we continue the sense of collective good will that is apparent for the first time in as long as I can remember.
Max support from the East!

There is a level of ignorance in some of the recent posts in this thread that is actually making my support wane. Alliance pilots, mainline pilots, NJS pilots, skippers or Penjet pilots etc..... are not in PIA. Therefore they are not protected if they were to refuse a duty. Grow up. Threatening people with a blacklist if they do the work that they are legally required to do, is a step too far. Don't over play your hand people.

Can someone explain the difference between the 89 list and what these Alliance pilots would be doing on the 4th?

But they can’t be judged. They have done nothing wrong. If the AFAP were to be involved in a blacklist, they have proven they are the same failed union that convinced you to sign the letter of resignation, that ultimately began your life overseas 34 years ago. I doubt they would want that stigma to return, as there are a few perfectly good alternatives these days.

the post you quoted doesn’t imply that, and I think it was wise for ActiveLooker to remove it.
How are you going to determine if pilots are volunteering? Especially if they work for other airlines?

The good news is it would be suicidal for QF Mgmt to ground the airline again. They have been exposed as the greedy “pigs with snouts in the trough “ so the unilateral wage freeze policy doesn’t stack up. Anyone who actually works on the frontline within the Group knows any protracted PIA won’t be able to be adequately covered with contingency plans - even with the help of the 5% of Pilots who’d sell their own Mother to make a dollar. The decade + of cuts including outsourcing, morale, spares, engineering, etc etc etc have done too much damage.
Keep your cool, keep up the pressure and be always ready to negotiate. This time Aircrew have the upper hand. Know it because QF sure as hell will soon enough.

Meanwhile, back a QF HQ, Ms H is breathing a massive sigh of relief knowing the industry is not as united as she feared. Or are most of the antagonists here posting on prune from their coffee lounge in the street…….
Emotional times call for cool heads, have your arguments in private and remember you will all eventually experience the IR blowtorch as airlines realise they no longer have the upper hand, don’t give it back to them. Hang tough!!

This is why most other “professions” do not have a publicly accessible forum where ANYONE can post anonymously and dirty linen gets aired in full view of management and the media.

People please remember that references to 89 and lists, though relevant here, get very emotive and have to be taken down as it can rapidly turn into a **** fight and has had the Australian forums shut down.
I'll leave the existing ones up but let's leave it there and focus on what's happening now.
Keep it cool headed and factual; journos read these forums and anything you post here could end up in the media.
