With the benefit of hindsight, I wonder if there’s not the odd QF mainline pilot out there today who now believes that the stoush the domestic pilots got themselves involved in back in 198you-know-when might actually have been their fight too?
It’s been said before by others far more erudite than me: if you blokes – QF mainline and every other airline pilot in Australia - don’t get yourselves quick smart into one, united union, go out and buy yourselves a pair of bib and brace overalls, a striped baseball cap and an oil can and learn how to whistle ‘Casey Jones’.
It’s not too late, but if you keep up this idiotic bullsh*t that you’re somehow a superior being just because you’re a QF mainline driver, it very soon will be.
