I can't believe there is an expectation from some of you that the smallest group of "fish" in the OZ airline's sea is to take on the management "sharks" in the BIG battle to turn everything around for all OZ pilots! Especially, after what has been done by larger groups of QF mainline pilots,
VB's and jet*'s in recent years !
Are you looking for someone elses backbone to lean on or a sacrificial lamb to give the big boys some guts to do their own hard work ? Those old formula's of seats x speed = pay died in 1989. IR reform in the airlines has been taking place since then. You just didn't understand it.
Sunnies pilots are generally the happiest bunch of pilots I've ever come across. Their EBA was voted overwhelmingly in favour. New toys for old ones for the Sunnies kids, more pay to do the same thing, no conditions traded off, more jobs, more commands for F/O's. More money in paradise would be nice but not necessary and not worth the loss of the "happiness" factor.
EAA and Sunnies do the same thing but they are world's apart. Sunnies isn't in their "war". As far away as Iraq really !
