Well, I must be a "chickensh1t little darling" (a qrewroom joke - thanks Bill - you really are hilarious!) because I joined after '92.
The thing that worries me most about this little dispute - and I call it little because it doesn't involve a huge number of people - is that AIPA's focus is completely lost on the most important thing right now.
Extinction.
QF Pilots out there? For farks sake, STOP squabbling over some scraps and do something to ensure that we as a group survive. Because the company is laughing their collective @rses off at us at the moment, whilst screwing us some more. What good is winning this battle if we lose the big one?
My union dues are going towards fighting a battle which will deliver a phyrric victory, whichever way it goes. It disgusts me. Grow up all of you. Bonvol, I hoped for more from you my friend.
Bill? Go away and retire. You are a mean, nasty, ill spirited, tyrannical, lonely old fool who needs to spend the rest of your days in a bowls club.
