Too Time2, yet again your logic is convoluted. I never 'scabed'. It's as simple as that. I am not on Neil's list and nor should I be. I did not EVER salivate at the prospect of "taking somones job" at Ansett. I applied for a poition at AN some months before the dispute, was interviewed after the 'Feds said all should reapply for their jobs and started ground school late in '90. I dont think that makes me a scab. If fact, I was offered the chance to really be a scab during the AnNZ lock out(offered a 146 command) and I knocked it back. I do know of a couple of GA guys who DID ramp up their applications to AN and TN at the time. One of the instant Captains at AnExpress bragged to me about how when he found out about the resignations he was over to AN offices like a flash to apply for a job. The actions of these people are reprehensible and I have never supported them. The people who I do support are those who felt coerced into resigning or came to the realisation that the AFAP had blown the deal and came back; it takes strenghth of character to admit you've made a big mistake and brush off peer pressure. Similarly, I admire those who took the moral stand that they would no longer work for a company that sought to destroy them and set off to another life. However, remember that industrial action was started by AFAP. The companies didn't lock you out or anything and I think that those involved should realise that they have some responsibility for the outcome. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
