By the way:
The best example I can point to is the sad events of 1989 at Ansett. which still causes bitterness.
From the above quote I suspect gross ignorance is at play here if you really have no idea about the other airline and their pilots involved in the pilots' strike. To allude to the notion of the events taking place at Ansett alone is an insult to a lot of people around here, though not me luckily.
"Sniping" and rumour-mongering in this rumour forum has very little impact on day to day life in Australian aviation. Anyone who thinks pprune has much to do with keeping the aviation world turning is sadly mistaken. Unless you include things like blowing the lid on someone's embarrassing "feau pas" or however you spell it. Then pprune is the goods...
I've managed to keep my own a secret, so far.
