I was barely into double figures when the dispute occurred in the late eighties, so apart from what I've read and heard from those who were there (and EVERYBODY'S story is different) I really do not know the exact course of events which has led to the acrimonious and tumultuous state of aviation in Australia today.
My question is not intended to offend, apportion blame, infer culpability or suggest favouritism, but I must ask;
If all of you from each end of the spectrum, "Scabs" to "Non-scabs", are so apparently and violently opposed to the other (to the point that, to an objective observer, it seems like a pathological obsession), why are you still in aviation? In the very industry responsible for your myriad miseries?
