Mud Skipper
Well unfortunately ol'mate, that's what they are going to ask you soon on where you want to park your career. The "line in the sand" was actually drawn in front of you back in 92 during the rape and pillage of the "real" Australian Airlines.
Dont expect anything to come out of any AIPA meeting because they dont give a rats about you or any other domestic driver. Through and through a 400 club. They did not support their brothers during 89, in fact they actually scabbed due to surprisingly increasing the amount of domestic sectors at the beginning and end of international flights and in fact Mud, and no doubt you still remember, they totally disregarded and destroyed the careers of their now domestic drivers during the rape of 92. In the eyes of your beloved "union", all the domestic brothers are nothing but illegitimate children that they were "forced" to adopt way back in 92. So Mud, dont think for a minute that these parasites are going to support you in times of LCC's firing up and helping with maintaining your career prospects particularly a "union" and I use the term extremely loosely. that gets a hand out each year from the company.!!!!! Have you ever Mud, heard of a "union" that normally should have the best interests of their members at heart, takes a ****e load of money from ya (but that's so you can get such cheap Income Protection Insurance) and then also slips some into the ol hip pocket from the management. True Mud, very very true.
One must remember, He who holds the gold makes the rules.
I feel so sorry for you domestic drivers who achieve the highest profits and now are about to be shet on from a great height because of faggot bean counters that have slimed their way into what was once a majestic industry.
Yes, the line truely is drawn in the sand Mud.
