So did ANY of the airlines he advised actually
benefit from his input?
He cost
Ansett hundreds of millions of dollars, by advocating that the company not deal with the union.
Similarly he did the same to
Cathay, in a protracted, festering industrial battle, that saw CX wet lease aircraft from mainland China, in the expectation that the pilots would strike. It never happened, and CX was stuck with a bill for millions of dollars for aircraft and crew they couldn't utilise.
In both cases the pilots' unions were battered, but not destroyed.
It's all just a
GAME, when you're using opsm...other peoples' money!!
In many cases, I believe that he may have
helped pilots, as individuals are now far more likely to take an ACTIVE interest in their contractual obligations and rights, which is eventually going to lead to far stronger united pilot groups.
