You keep talking as if AIPA was caught napping.
They way I see it, nothing could be further from the truth.
Surely you can recognise that the potential and inclination for such moves has long been recognised by AIPA, and which was indeed the basis of the industrial action and lockout several years ago.
“Qantas Aircraft, Qantas Pilot”
That the action was ultimately unsuccesful in it’s main aim was unfortunately the result of other unions joining the bandwagon with unrealistic claims and damaging action, forcing the Company’s hand.
AIPA’s campaign, on the other hand, was well thought out, and strategically designed to address precisely these kind of moves by the Company.
Your insinuation that AIPA is napping is untrue and unhelpful. Especially from the other side of the planet.
