Rostov. Very well put. The facts are, that if AIPA had given a rats about the Impulse guys when qantas brought them out in the guise of Qantas link, then jetstar would not exist today. I was at the meeting in Sydney when CM decreed that AIPA could and would not ever cover any " Impulse Pilot".
The high and mighty amongst the QF ranks prefer to think of any others forging a living in the industry as interlopers and detractors. Frankly, amongst most experienced guys who have been around, your pathetic attitude towards other professional members of the same industry speaks volumes. The spoilt brat whingings on this forum and the company one, highlight the head in the sand mentality that is gradually cutting you all off from the rest of the industry.
Obviously we all want as much as we can get for working. Thats a given. The quicker we can all unite and provide a barrier, the better.
Where do we go from here? Its obvious. The future is already here, thanks to the we are better than every one else attitude.
