Western Australian pilots employed by Qantas subsidiary Network Aviation are planning to strike for 24 hours on Wednesday over pay. At least 50 per cent of flights will be cancelled. This will force the airline to move flights to other days and transfer customers to competing airlines. The strike will affect thousands of FIFO workers and mining companies and could discourage overseas investment. The Australian Federation of Air Pilots says it remains committed to reaching an agreement with the airline.
