The dispute happened and alot of drivers left overseas in disgust and stuck to their principles - I salute you.
However, a decent amount of these people, who I use to admire for their principles, made lots of money o/s for 15 years.
They then have been more than happy to come back to Oz, work for alot less as THEY have made their loot, in effect, lowering the average airline pilot salary 20%. After all, it is just a pre-retirement job for 10 years.
From all the Wannabe's in Australia - Thanks guys.
