Dixon's Success
Westozflyer's post is understandable in its emotion.
But it also indicates how successful Dixon has been in dividing crew and pitting them against each other
Shorthaul against Longhaul
Base against Base
FAAA domestic against FAAA International.
This is why we are where we're at.No unity
Dixon didn't screw us...we screwed ourselves.
The current FAAA executive(longhaul)are to be applauded for undoing a lot of damage done by the 3 blind mice(Broome,Brem and Warner)
The situation we find ourselves in now had its birth 3 EBA's ago.
Its Game set and match. Dixon has won and we helped him by being naive and at times incompetent.
But most of all we were not united and largely driven by self interest.
I don't like it.I am not happy about it.
But as I have said before we need to negotiate with the hand we have been dealt.The new technology and Industrial Relations laws are coming whether we like it or not.
One last thought....any flight attendant who voted Liberal in the last election has compounded the problem.
Anyone who complains about these circumstances to me I ask them "who did you vote for?"
They quickly fall silent.
Latham may not have have been telegenic but let me assure you we wouldn't be in this situation if Labour was in power.
So folks before you start complaining and ridiculing others
WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR ?and who will you vote for next time.
Lets hope its not for the George Dubbya Clone we have now.
