SYDNEY, March 11 (Reuters) - Qantas Airways Ltd's QAN.AX pilots union has told members a proposed pay deal covering Sydney-London flights is "unsatisfactory" but pilots should make their own call given an outsourcing threat and an uncertain economic climate, according to a memo seen by Reuters.
The airline said on Tuesday it was looking to postpone plans to order up to 12 Airbus SE AIR.PA A350-1000 planes capable of the world's longest-ever commercial flights as it grapples with a fall in demand from the coronavirus, but it was still looking to seal a deal with pilots. last week from two union leaders, viewed by Reuters, advised pilots to reluctantly approve the company's offer, but the pair do not represent the entire union panel.
