So, two non answers, genuine questions characterised as a threat, and the opposite to these PIA stop works being to ‘fold’. I hope that someone comes up with something better than that!
I hope the JQ pilots are clear about the pros and cons of the actions you’ve chosen. I hope you achieve what you set out to achieve. Good luck.
Anyone who has been around for a few of these know very well what the company will respond with and that is a firm NO to pilot terms, this is he only way Jetstar can “negotiate”. If that we’re not the case, they would be entertaining the notion that they should come with a realistic offer instead of running to the press to denigrate their pilots.
PIA is the only language they speak! Bring it on!
