It was a big grab for money. The AFAP went on a work to rule flying 9am-5pm only over a 30% pay increase with no offer to increase productivity. IE: Pure greed. The Industrial Relations Commision ordered the AFAP to resume normal operations or be lible for civil damages, as was covered by law. Some writs for damages were issued(and never persued by the companies) and the AFAP members resigned from their jobs, ostensibly to protect their individual assets. Their resignations have since been described as the greatest tactical blunder imaginable as the pilots were no longer be considered to be a group of employees,from a lawful perspective. The companies started to employ from overseas and GA, the 'Feds took jobs in GA and overseas and those of us in GA looked on in bewilderment. In my mind, nothing that if have heard or read subsequently( by the likes of TT2 or KM)has ever removed from my mind the hypocracy of many (but by no means all) of the AFAP members who took jobs in GA and elsewhere and chanted the mantra" dont take a job at the airlines or you're a scab". I have invited Tool Time 2 in previous posts to solve the moral paradox of this question and he/she has failed to do so. I'll ask the question again. Any may answer: ' How could the 'Feds lay a moral claim to 2 jobs at once?'Hmm? <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
