Is there a clause in the JQ EA that prevents Qantas from going about it’s business freely and increasing Network’s fleet of A320s and thus take over JQ flying? Suspect there isn’t. Perhaps JQ pilots have more to worry about with Network A320s than mainline.

Was there such a clause for cabin crew and ground crew as well? The likes of QCCA and QGS subsidiaries taking over come to mind.

Are any other businesses in Australia hamstrung by such nonsense? I dare say not many

Not going to receive the big pay rise outside of the QF group wages policy.

So, there are individuals in this thread who would prefer 700 Australian pilot jobs be replaced by 700 other pilot jobs, but with 1/3 the pay. Just so the QF guys get screwed. What great bunch of people we have here.

Just morno’s standard anti-QF rhetoric. It’s getting tiring and boring :yuk:

There’s always going to be that 1%. Everyone else is hoping that we can ALL improve our terms and conditions. The 1% can be a bit noisy though.

Bit like Rated De’s “Little Napoleon” theme isn’t it.....

It’s called a balanced view buddy, just because it doesn’t agree with your point of view it doesn’t mean it’s Anti QF or anything like that.

Why is aviation special? What makes it any different to any other industry that you deserve special clauses to protect your jobs?

Sorry morno, I must have missed the existence of these special clause that protects jobs embedded in Qantas group EBA's. Perhaps you could please point out, preferably with references to the clauses in the documents.

Of course, there is the law of the Land, the Fair Work Act, which does indeed contain provisions against the transmission of business to prevent unscrupulous employers abusing their power. But that is an act of Parliament, not industrial negotiation.

There was an A320 in Broome at lunchtime yesterday. That exact flight (Sunday Broome Lunch) used to be a B737. How are they allowed to do that?

Approx same number of pax, same size plane but cheaper crew

A Network A320?

This thread is embarrassing a couple of posters...maybe the 10th on this issue in recent times. FFS spend some time reviewing the FWA and get educated. Or ring your association/union if you can’t be arsed.

The correct answer has been planted numerous times over the years explaining why Network, Cobham or any subsidiary has been able to grow. They may continue to grow. They may do routes traditionally done by Mainline. It doesn’t mean the demise of Mainline or Jetstar.

Simple - it's part of a deal with the state government for cheaper fares - https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.a...-continue.aspx.

I may be wrong, but I understand that it operates in the JQ all-economy layout, so there is some increase in the number of seats against the 737.

Transfer of business to reduce costs is all Australian airlines do now . Long gone are the days of building airlines into something great .
