I'm just curious here, personally I think struck work is struck work, regardless of union. Does our contract allow, or protect us from refusing, flying that would normally be flown by our codeshare/JV partners when said partners are on strike?
I'm sure there is a technicality in how struck work is defined, but I don't think it would bode well to have the DAL pilot group picking up flying that is considered struck.
The first point of contact on this would be the Qantas union itself. How are they defining struck work and are they actively requesting all pilots around the world not to pick up any additional Aussie pax? They might be either requesting other airlines not affiliated with Qantas to fly as many OZ pax as possible to bleed Qantas out. We need to find out what they are saying on this issue.
