Question

Nobody has yet answered the question at all, would current Ansett employees, particularly pilots, be prepared to accept a reduction in salary in order for Ansett to survive?

Or would you rather just see Ansett go out of business and have no salary?

There is a lot of feeling in the community with regards to a Government bail out of Ansett, I think a lot of it stems from the fact that why should the Australian taxpayers, many of whom probably work very hard all their lives paying taxes on say $25K to $30K, have their taxes going to save a foreign owned company like Ansett is now, when Ansett employees on massive salaries (compared to average taxpayers) will not help themselves or Ansett by offering to take a lower salary.
