I fly with and discuss this with many other QF drivers on a daily basis, and they are all equally disturbed about what is happenning.
This may in fact be the problem. Your discussions with fellow-workers would be a little like preaching to the converted.

Obviously, your colleagues would be disturbed by the recent developments, but I believe that it is a far stretch of the imagination if you expect the Impulse guys to not sign up for Jetstar, when the only options were agree, or leave.

These guys have wives and families to support as well as you do, and this situation, and the decisions they have had to make, have been forced upon them. They are making the best of a bad situation, so that they can at least pay their bills and feed their families.

You can't honestly expect them to forego a jet job of any description, because it may erode someone elses conditions.

That is just not a realistic option.
