You cant blame the impulse guys for this, they had the option of flying jetstar or lose their jobs, that simple. They were not in the union they had no bargaining power. The union should have incorporated them earlier, but thats in the past, it can't be changed, the union is doing the best they can in the current circumstances. The management is to blame for this, its a classic divide and conquer technique and its been played out in numerous countries and industries before. Dixon is laughing his way to the bank over this debacle while the pilots argue about it. It all comes down to one point really,
Divided we fall, United we stand
The choice is for all the pilots under the qf umbrella to decide.
