I used to have a lot of respect for Australians and Australia but some of you guys are seriously letting yourselfs down, I am not for or against what went on in 89 but to wish somebody and his family ill and worse over this dispute 13 years ago just seems beyond belief.. .. .Some of us in Europe suffered including myself when you all flooded into the UK and filled jobs preventing promotion for many years, I never obtained the command position on the large jets that I had worked so hard for because of it, but Ive been in aviation ever since and never felt any bad feelings towards any Australian or any other group of pilots. Believe you me I know all about the dispute, I had to sit with enough Aussies who told me all about it.. .. .You do yourself and more importantly your country a great disservice. Move on or it seems a lot of you are going to be paying psychiatrists a lot of money in your retirements.
