Errr, I may be mistaken but I guess he just feels that it was the Ansett returnees, plus all those who took jobs after, that did him out of his job.
He may feel no resentment towards any Qantas pilot. I understand it was mainly the Ansett Pilots testimony in the court case that won the day for not re-employing the dispute pilots.
I guess the good bit of being the boss is you get to pick and choose who you want to employ.
I know a lot of pilots with significant jet experience, who never worked for Ansett, that can't get past first base as well.
The ex Ansett blokes are not alone.
