This is your captain … striking: Qantas pilots
PASSENGERS at Qantas can now expect the message from their captain to be one about industrial turbulence rather than strong winds or the expected time of arrival.
In unusual industrial action Qantas pilots will make pro-union statements to passengers over the in-flight announcement system as they start their first industrial action at Qantas in 45 years.
The action, to be undertaken by about 1600 long-haul pilots, will include pilots not wearing their usual Qantas uniforms and instead complying with a union ”authorised uniform policy”.
