Oicur12 the reason I asked about your position in aviation is because we quite often get people posting in this forum who are not involved in aviation, so therefore have no concept of what its like for those of us who are involved - there was no "schoolboy" tones whatsoever.
At the end of the day, the QF Long Haul flighties (and no I am not one of them) are fighting to keep their pay and their lifestyle, and whats more keeping jobs in australia
I gaurentee you if they were opening a QF pilot base in LHR there would be a totally different song being sung on this forum
