The PR battle

Afternoon those concerned with the dispute.
Today's Brisbane paper carried a story with mention of the pay dispute using the words "pilots walk off the job ... delays, disruptions" and its all the pilots fault.
The quote from the company CEO was "it is cynically timed to hurt the travelling public .... we (Jstar) are proactively contacting customers ... " and then reference was made to the pay increase of 15% in the first year.
And the final part (to show the greed of the pilots), and, I am paraphrasing, "they already get $300,000 a year".
I would suggest that it is time to put your own circumstances out there rather than let Jstar blame you for the problems.
I hope the Union has access to journalists as does Jstar. It might be worth the effort to have the public on your side.
