Here we go again.
Yes it was 12 years ago my friend, I have gone on and got a life but there is no reason to forget what those spineless little people did.
I tried like hell to get a job back in AN for 4 years, was interviewed tested and found acceptable. I frequently saw the then Chief Pilot ( JD ) and he had no objections to me being re-employed as an F/O. he told me to keep in touch and come see him anytime to talk.
BUT the Scabs had decided that due to safety reasons they could not fly with non-scabs and that was that. They even had that fact ratified by officialdom in their contract in the IRC,it was set in concrete that we could never "safely mix".
The scabs did what they could to lock me and others out of Ansett and a job in OZ.
Now what goes around comes around.
VB will not accept any Captain from AN on the grounds that it not safe to mix the two groups!!!!!!!! I bet there are a few scabs regretting that letter now.
So if you think that I or any other 89 er can forgive and forget then you are wrong.
I wish all the non-scabs the best of luck.
cheers.
